I think we should get to hear the 911 call in the suspects defense. If the statement is as its stated we should hear the suspect threatening the family while the homeowner was on 911 call
Really? Under the law the act of breaking in is a threat which justifies the use of deadly force. Not all home invaders are talkers I would imagine. And what’s this “we” business. We are not a jury and this isn’t a trial in the press.
Waiting to learn a burglar’s “additional intentions” is an excellent way to get killed. But, you are certainly free to choose that option. – Retired burglary report writer –
