Even if he never does a day in jail, this will probably weigh on his conscience...nice way to turn 21.

If someone breaks into my home and I'm there, I'm going to assume my life is in danger. I don't care about the property and I wouldn't kill someone over a dang TV. But I have no idea what your motives are for breaking into my home at night...you could be a burglar, or you could be a rapist or serial killer. I WILL protect myself, and though I may call 911 if I have the chance, I know they won't be there to protect me at the moment when someone does break in. A part of that kid may have been pissed off about being robbed the night before, but I bet he was scared as hell when he walked toward the garage with that sword. He knew he was going to confront the baddy, but for all he knew, he might have had a gun.
Was the garage attached to the house? Up here most of the houses are, so I'm going to assume that someone breaking into the garage would still count as breaking into the house since it's just a doorway separating the two.
I don't feel bad for the burglar in this case. Any time you break into a house you risk a confrontation with a homeowner determined to defend his/her self and family. And this was the second night in a row this guy went to that house to rob it? It was only a matter of time til he picked the wrong house.
