The guy didn't think he had much choice, shooting through a window at the alleged intruder on the other side. Grand Jury chose to indict. Must not have been any actual evidence of forcible entry, or attempt at entry. Must not have agreed that his fears were reasonable or justified.
A.O.J. Being on the other side of a locked door and (assuming) not attempting to breach the barrier doesn't meet the Opportunity element of A.O.J. Makes it risky to claim justifiability, then. Even in Texas, as it turns out in this case.
Who's to say, though. Few of us, here, are going to have all the facts that the Grand Jury has seen.
