He was invited in by the daughter, who is a resident of the house. The dad didn't tell him "no" when he came in, so he had no reasonable idea that he'd get shot for being there. The castle doctrine doesn't count when you were invited in.
That's a stupid way to raise your kids -- even 7 and 8 year olds can be taught that they need the parents' permission for a sleepover. I never let my kids go to someone's house without the parents agreeing.
The dead kid knew full well he did not have the homeowner's permission to be in that house. He deliberately chose to be inside someone's house without the homeowner's permission.
His real Darwin moment came when he lunged to get something after being confronted in that home and hearing the skank deny she knew him. Anyone with a single functioning brain cell would have put his arms in the air at that point to show he wasn't an armed stranger in that home.
ask most boys what they think about the girl friend's dad. Not many will say "yeah he's cool with me humping the snot out of his little girl."
Most boys have a healthy fear of the girl friend's dad.
Not all, but most. My daughter is 27 now. Her boy friend is 28. He does the cover art for all my books. He still knows to mind his manners in my damned house. I am not mean or rude to him, but he knows that if he crosses the line, hurts my daughter in any way, breaks the rules of the house, then he faces consequences. They are unspoken, but he knows. The young man has common sense. Same as I had at that age. Don't **** the dad off, it never ends well.
My job wasn't to be cool and isn't to be cool. After they are married I might be somewhat cool, but he will always know that if he causes my daughter grief he will answer for it.

exactly!!! But then anyone with a single functioning brain cell wouldn't have been in the home humping the snot out of that girl with the dad sleeping in the same house.
So this 16 yo girl was just bringing random boys home for a quickie? Nice. Tells you a lot about that family.
Well, she let one boy she knew into the family home. That's not random.
No telling what the relationship between the two kids.
It says nothing about the families, beyond a belief in the illusion of control over teenage children.
Sara Palin had made a fortune preaching abstinence and family values. Yet, thus far, at least 2 of her children engaged in sex and created babies. Does this tell you something about the Palin family? Is it possible that her children do as they see fit to do, regardless of what their mother preaches to the world?

Legally, he was not trespassing though.
The girl should be charged. See another case in TX:
When they are under 18? Of course I do. But more important, even when my kids were little, they knew they had to get parents' permission for sleepovers.

The boy is guilty of poor judgment. He didn't deserve to be killed for it.
Anyone who has raised teen-agers knows that this ^^^ is probably not true. AND that you really have little control over what is actually going on by the time they are 17 years old; rarely home; driving to and from team practices and work . . . they could be doing ANYTHING.
Unless you are following them 24/7 - you have no idea. You HOPE that you have raised them well, done your job, and they are busy standing up for what is good and right.
Weren't we teen-agers too? Following all house rules 24/7?
Get real.
I will say ~ I wasn't dumb enough to have sex in my childhood bedroom with my parents in the house though.
