Friend walked in on a burglary.

And so are you.


What do you people not get? You'd spend life in prison if you shot them.

No you wouldn't, and you are a twit.

What about George Zimmerman?

What about George Zimmerman?

right on point there-- a fight outside a home in a common area of a neighborhood. Here, we're talking about two folks inside a man's home.

How is Zimmerman relevant?

I received a call that my alarm has been tripped and my dog is barking.
I went home thinking it was probably a false alarm (statistically probably 20 to 1 that the alarm was false).
I went inside and to my horror was confronted by two men who had been burglarizing my home appeared to have a similar desire to take my life in the same way they were stealing my property.
In fear for my life I was forced to shoot them both in self defense.
I would like to speak to my attorney.

Um yes you would. Unless you have an airtight story [ told by your attorney] you cannot beat forensic science. The Court of Public Opinion especially with parents as described will crucify you. . Ask this white hispanic in FL, named Zimmerman how that shooting is playing out.

IF, IF YOU BELIEVE there is someone in your home and you enter while LE is in route AND use deadly force you're screwed. Like i said, Justifying Use of deadly force when LE is on the way puts you in a very tough to defend position.
The first question asked by any 1/2 ass investigator would be Why did you Call the Police / Dial 911, THEN enter your home....... OOPS.

Do you have ANY Colorado case law that backs up anything you have written?

I HAVE had this situation and I DID arrive before the police and I did enter MY HOME and I would have used any force I deemed necessary to protect myself. You are making a massive number of assumptions that are illogical and not reality based.
