When a threat is removed and when a prone person is defenseless is a subjective call.
Not when you are recording it on video and audio.

Of course you can. You can develop a course of action that ensures your safety and removes each and every threat within your household.
You may end up in jail one day. There is a difference between ensuring your safety and hiding bodies to entice further intrusion that would not have occurred.

There are those words again........."enticing intrusion." Sounds like victim blaming to me. Am I enticing intrusion because I didn't shoot you during an earlier home invasion? I would have thought the sound of multiple gunshots would have nixed the enticement issue.
If I were on that jury, I'd convict. They got it right.

Do you know of a better system of justice?

Ok, you can have an issue, but it won't change the outcome, or mean anything in the next verdict someone disagrees with.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on what "normal people" would do or think. If I were a victim of multiple burglaries by drug addicts who incidentally had also stolen some of my weapons I would definitely be angry and prepared to take action for the inevitable "next time."
The prosecutor in this case convinced a jury that this homeowner "welcomed" a home invasion but my sense of it is he wanted them to stop. Is that not what a "normal" person would want? He had called the police to try to get the burglaries to stop. But that didn't work out.
He was a hunter, you and I are prior military trained with guns, trained to kill........I forfeit no rights under the Castle Doctrine because of my skill sets. When my 1911 goes bang during a home invasion it is with the intent to kill, and I will be angry and say a few expletives in the process. I might even toss the bullet ridden carcass into the front yard for easy pick up and to reduce the mess on my floor and the trauma to my family.
I have a 60 inch flat screen visible through my bay windows to the street. It is known that I care for a terminally ill father and have prescription narcotics in the house. I leave my doors unlocked when I am home awake. There is video surveillance. I have a nice boat and vehicles parked about the property. But yet I sit on my sofa with my 7 yo and a concealed firearm "enjoying" the latest episode of My Little Pony. I am prepared for and have a plan to thwart a home invasion. So somehow I need to worry that a prosecuting atty is going to convince a jury that I enticed criminals to break into my house because I have nice stuff, and I was laying in wait with a weapon on my couch prepared and with plan to dispatch intruding criminal(s).
In FL I would like to think a homeowner would stand a better chance, but likely would come down to the skills of a defense atty and/or jury selection.
Go to 13:30 in the freaking recording if you think he is innocent. IF anyone still thinks he is innocent then you are freaking STUPID! HE says "sorry about that" then murders her and calls her a *****.
And the jackazz waited until the next day to have a neighbor call the police. ****?
I think he said, "you die B". Pretty incriminating.

He is not "innocent"...He did murder those two POS teens...no real loss to the state of Georgia.
His "planning" was flawed..as was his execution. Video and statements are what will convict someone..Remember, In AMERICA..they must prove the case...
The smart defendant says absolutely nothing other than " I wish to speak to a lawyer" before he says a word about what happened.
Two key points to keep in mind
1) Dead men tell no tales
2) even a fish wouldn't get caught if it kept its mouth shut.

Generally speaking, smart people don't commit murder. Even a whole lot of dumb people don't commit murder.
I like that a lot.

FWIW MN law in this case.............
"The intentional taking of the life of another is not authorized by section 609.06, except when necessary in resisting or preventing an offense which the actor reasonably believes exposes the actor or another to great bodily harm or death, or preventing the commission of a felony in the actor's place of abode."
Criminals in MN should think twice about home invasion. Even more so if the homeowner is really pissed or not quite right in the head.
No, I guess not.
You're still here...
Now you went and done it Tanktard...I'm crying. :rotflmao

Intelligence is the least reliable predictor of proclivity to commit murder as anything....
The difference between "smart" murderers and dumb ones...is that the smart ones walk free.
