WEWS: Michael Benza, senior instructor of law, said that a recent shooting in Akron appears to be a textbook example of Ohio's Castle Doctrine. “Somebody's breaking into the house, they are in the house, the person is defending their house and they have the right to use deadly force in that case,” he said.
