Israel News - Shai Dromi { 12 images } Created 17 Apr 2010
Shai Dromi is an Israeli farmer who, in an act of self-defense, shot and killed a trespasser and wounded another on 13 January 2007. On 15 July 2009, he was acquitted of manslaughter but convicted on charges of illegal possession of weapons.
Dromi's farm is near Meitar in southern Israel, an area plagued by property theft. In the months leading up to the incident, Dromi suffered from several theft incidents. A public uproar drew much attention to Dromi's case leading to the acceptance of a new law, commonly known as the 'Dromi Law', considers opposition to intruders as self-defence.
