Justifiable by what?
Ethics or law?
Was the shooter a marksman? If not, maybe he didn't kill him on purpose. That's the difference between him and the police. Policemen are marksmen, they don't have to shoot to kill, they can aim. Regular people can't (which is why they don't need guns). How far away from the robber was the shooter? How do we know it was premeditated unless we know he shot to kill? I don't think he should be prosecuted. Ol' dude shouldn't've been over there, he'd still be alive.
I don't know... I thought that if the person was on your property, whatever happens, happens. I remember learning something about someone stealing and running away from the house... you could shoot them as long as it was before they reached the sidewalk.
I bet his friend won't steal nothin' else, though. That's rehabilitation like a mug!
