As soon as we descend into the emotional and sensationalist "Guilty by circumstance" approach of the witch hunts and inquisition then we are all screwed.

No. But the next time they broke into my house they'd be staring down the barrel of my Magnum Express Pump action shotgun. That, my friend, is legal self defence, as opposed to stringing someone up on the basis of 3rd party and potentially wrong heresay.

The guy is getting a trial hopefully a fair one, I am not saying he is guilty or innocent, I am saying i would not allow my grandchildren near anyone if there was a doubt.Sorry if you don't like it, would you let your kids or grandkids visit Neverland with Michael Jackson knowing what you know about him at this moment.

Yes, I should point out that its perfectly legal to defend your self, home and family this way from burglars in Florida, as long as you have a legal right to possess the firearm, but I wouldnt advocate it in say, Britain, or New York, or any other country/state that doesnt give you the legal right to self defence. Of course, even here in FL you'd have to prove you had a reason to shoot the burglar.
