The neighbor hasn't been named because he's not facing charges.

"It's a horrible situation," the unnamed neighbor told NBC News.

According to Missouri’s “castle doctrine” law, people are allowed to use deadly force against intruders without the duty to retreat.

Police said surveillance footage from Justin's trailer showed him entering his neighbor's residence, leaving, then quickly entering again upset. The Missouri man was shot three times — in the leg, thigh and chest before he died, according to investigators.

The jury reviewed the statement from the homeowner, who was brought in for questioning and recorded. According to the shooter, Justin broke into his house and damaged several TVs. The neighbor added that Justin may have been high from taking pills. He also said he tried to scare Justin with his gun and aimed at his legs, but the alleged intruder kept charging at him even after he was shot in the leg.

John said he's disappointed with the lack of transparency in the investigation, particularly with the sheriff selecting the jurors.

"Of course, he's going to select six people that are going to corroborate what he thought happened," the devastated father said, according to KMOV4. "Justin went inside the house, obviously, he was irritated about something. If he ripped the television off the wall and threw them, show me the fingerprints. The prosecutors say the fingerprints are smudged."
