The move followed an October 1st decision from the Wyoming Supreme Court that overturned Drennen’s initial conviction for first degree murder. Drennen’s case, supported by NRA, is important precedent in ensuring Wyomingites are able confidently to exercise their right to self-defense.
Drennen’s initial conviction for murder evolved from a dispute with
Hoster, who was a tenant on trailer park property Drennen owned. On May
2, 2010, Drennen went to the trailer Hoster had been staying at to post “no trespassing”
signs, following Hoster’s failure to pay lot fees. While Drennen was
putting up the signs, an unarmed Hoster attacked him, throwing the
landlord off the trailer’s porch and over a fence, and causing Drennen’s
head to strike the ground. During the attack Hoster threatened, “I’ll Kill you, you son of a b**ch.”
As Hoster was coming over the fence to continue the assault, Drennen
drew a 9mm pistol and fired at his assailant, killing him. Following a
trial, a jury found Drennen guilty of first-degree murder and assault
and battery. Drennen was sentenced to life in prison.
