On Thursday, Terry Turner was convicted of killing Adil Dghoughi in 2021.
Turner, 67, was sentenced to 10 years for killing Dghoughi, but he could serve that in probation. A judge is expected to determine how much of the sentence can be spent in probation within the next 30 days. Turner faced a prison sentence between two and 20 years after he was convicted of manslaughter by a Caldwell County jury.
The state and defense both finished their closing arguments in Turner's trial Thursday morning. The jury then deliberated for more than five hours before Turner was convicted of the lesser charge. Turner shot and killed Dghoughi in Martindale, Texas, on Oct. 11, 2021, and was originally charged with murder. Turner told authorities that an unknown vehicle entered his driveway late at night, so he grabbed his gun and chased after the car when it started backing out of the driveway.Martindale man convicted of killing another man who drove into his driveway in 2021
The defense said that Turner was reasonable to protect himself because he should have the right to feel safe at his home. But the state argued that Dghoughi was reasonable to reverse out of the driveway when he saw Turner coming at him with a gun.
