How can a man be guilty of murder for killing a burglar?

Legally, you are allowed to defend your person and belongings. The question is how many times was he stabbed once he ceased to be a threat? And was the Burglar unarmed and attempting to escape when he was stabbed.

For premeditation, there is no minimal required time for which you have to meditate. Regardless, the question that will be focused on is how many times was the burglar stabbed when he ceased to be a threat, and what were the other alternatives to stabbing him - if any. I am not taking sides, I am just saying that these would be the questions asked.It is never as simple as, "this guy was just defending his family.

It depends ono the specific circumstances involved. Just because someone breaks into your home that doesn't mean you can just kill them. The suspect can be running out, have their hands up, can say that they surrender, and numerous other things.

Besides, the authorities are probably taking precautions since someone has died in the incident. Anyone dying, no matter who it is, is serious enough to warrant certain precautions.

I agree with you completely. Unfortunately, many States protect offender's rights to ridiculous extremes. Here in New Mexico a woman took a burglar's head off with a 12-guage after chasing him onto the front yard.No charges.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
