Don't you think that the fact that these guys had this "unsafe" swimming pool at their house is going to make them liable no matter what the other circumstances are?

As always it depends on how good of a lawyer they have
And the law of the state and how it's been interpreted
I've actually never seen a story where a burglar trips over something, sues, and wins. And never saw any of that in torts class. The only time i've seen a burglar sue successfully is in the case of a spring gun/trap gun (someone sets up a gun to shoot anyone that comes through the door while they're away).
Got any links to any?
