sorry, started post and then realised I had to get the image. hoped no-one would see it in its one-line form.

Hope you can see it all now.

My point is, that you are a Marine with 20+ years experience.
If you were in the case we are discussing you would have been forewarned, armed and ready. You would have been faced with an unarmed, scared 16 year old. When I picture the situation - grown marine with weapon, versus crying sixteen year old - I find it hard to imagine that you would feel threatened.

Not all break-ins are threatening. Certainly not to the extent that you would feel the need to shoot the intruder dead. I believe that either Mr.Martin was not scared and acted out of anger at being robbed and racist hatred of Gypsies, or that he was very scared, because he had the mind of a ten year old (as he claimed in his defence). In either case he should not have been arming himself and using a gun.
