Criminals take upon themselves all the consequences of their victim's damaging actions in defense of person and property.
For if they had not trespassed, there would have been no cause.
Even if retreating, the victim cannot be sure that they won't circle around and attack again. Unless, of course, the law is no longer for the protection of victims, but a guarantor of the rights of the predators to prey upon us.
Police officers would have fired multiple times, even with several firing in unison, to bring down a criminal they deemed a threat. That mitigates any possibility the homeowner could be charged with using excessive force or unnecessary lethal force. The DA would likely be throwing his job away if he tried to make a case against the man.
THIS "Liberal" thinks the burglar got what she deserved, her accomplice should be charged with her death NOT the old man.
You break into someone's property it can be presumed you mean harm to anyone you may come into contact with ... That person can defend themselves in any manner they feel necessary.
whether she was pregnant or not is really irrelevant. I doubt that even CA law speaks to this. You can't shoot a fleeing thief in the back, even if she just broke your collarbone. If he had fired while being attacked he would be free and clear, but he fired as she was fleeing, according to his own account.
As I said earlier. Normally I won't condone shooting a fleeing thief in the back, but in this case. They beat the man bad enough to break bones, continued to beat him after he was down. The woman got exactly what she deserved. I find it ironic that the woman begged for mercy from someone she showed none. The old guy was justified in feeling threatened. The fear of the threat doesn't end when the beating stops. Ask any battered woman or child.
Wait, he was beaten severely but was ok enough to ran to the alley, shoot her in the back twice and then drag her back towards the house? Something doesn't jive here. The idiot needs to spend the rest of his life in jail.
It's amazing how people are demonizing the man who shot this woman when she was bullying an old man.
It's amazing the number of people who think it is ok to chase a person into an ally and shoot them in the back and then drag then back towards their home.

Some of us have been instructed to do it that way by our local sheriffs { off the record of course }
Oh, and don't forget to put a steak knife in their hand.....
