Well, if you ask me, he shouldn't go to jail for killing a burglar. Unless he, of course, did it on purpose or something... Though he should be accused of at least possesing a shotgun without a licence. As you saw in the article above, his licence was taken away because he shot at a car, because he was paranoid. So he shouldn't have a gun. But puting him in jail for defending himself is just weird...
It's like that case that I heard of once, where this burlgar broke into a house when the owners were on vacation, and then got locked into one of the rooms. And then he sued the owners for suffering, because he couldn't get out of the room until they got home... Weird world... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
