The other interesting facts from the article are these:
1. There were three men involved in the fight - the perpetrator, the home owner got charged and his friend. 2. Neighbor reported the fight spilling onto the street. Meaning, the person killed was alive, and had left the house. 3. Police arrived to find the two men 'detained' the deceased.
So, it raises interesting question. The law states right to self defense, yes.
However, the deceased was killed "OUTSIDE" the house, and was outnumbered by 2 to 1. IF, he was killed in the process of self defense inside house, then its a clear case. However, if he was killed as an attempt by two men trying to 'detain' him. Then, this case gets very muddled. The question will then be, when do the act of self defense end?
For example, say in a hypothetical case. A man defends against an attacker, the attacker tries to run away. The man then gets into a car and run the attacker down killing him. Is this still self defense?
Very interesting case indeed.
Oh another thing is that the mother claimed that her son was invited to a party at the house. Now, was there a party at the house at the time? If so, how many people were there? Did the deceased know the home owner and his friend prior to breaking in? There are alot of loose ends to follow, and murder charges usually do not get laid very easily. I think this case, is not simply an innocent victim finding an intruder in the small hours of the morning.
