Tell it to the guy this thread is about, that you defended. You act like him, your wife will be shopping for a new husband, because 25 years is just too long to wait.
Most often, people that kill others that break into their home aren't charged at all.
The only thing this guy did wrong was tape his actions.If had had of done what he did and just called the cops, it would have been overwith.
Fortunately, the jury disagreed with you. You can, and always have been able to, protect your home even with deadly force. There are rules for the use of deadly force. They do not allow for ambush and murder, which is what happened here. The "finishing shots" to the head would have been evidence depsite the audio tape. The rules for justifiable homicide do not cover "finishing shots." Even if you justfiably have to shoot someone, if they are disabled and no longer a threat or unable to continue a felony, you can't simply execute them.

Soon, there was another booming gunshot and the sound of Kifer falling down the stairs. Smith quickly said, “Oh, sorry about that.”
“Oh, my god!,” Kifer said, and screamed.
“You’re dying,” Smith responded amid more gunshots. “Bitch.”
Why am I not suprised you'd support behaviour like that?
