This guy shot and killed burglar in his remote farmhouse in the middle of the night.

He got life in prison.

Go team Europe.

(ps if you really look the case, the guy was a nutter and was rightly IMHO given jail)

As usually Europe goes too far. Killing someone who's busted into your place who might have all sorts of machinations for hurting you or your family is an altogether separate thing from what this case was: deadly retribution for theft.
