Hmmm. The article indicates a broken window, and further 'medical and forensic evidence'. If the broken window was the point of access, it might indicate that a lot of the cuts sustained by the alleged intruder could be traced to the broken glass. That fact would change the entire scenario. It then becomes 'much ado about nothing'.

Are you saying that if someone breaks into your home with apparent intent to cause harm that you can't defend your person with whatever means necessary? I think that if someone breaks in brandishing a weapon that it should be open season.
This isn't a case of a homeowner beating up a drunk that accidentally broke into a house thinking it was their own and fell asleep on the couch.

"Open season' has a tendency to develop into open warfare against anyone you do not like. Unrestricted 'self defense' is wide open to abuse, like it is in America.
