4thTimeLucky,
Now the only thing that bothers me in your statement is the forewarned thing. If I was forewarned no I would not shoot a 16 year old to death, he would get a good ass beating though.
But I propose the situation that I awake to noises in my living room, I leave my bedroom armed with my Colt combat .45.
As I enter my living room there are 2 intruders one being attacked by my doberman, at this moment do I know if the are armed or not? What if one makes a sudden movement towards me?
All I am saying is that no one knows if the old man felt threatened. In his mind he did, was it just enough to kill a repeat offender? Your courts said no. Here in the states, each state is different. As sad as it might sound, this old man will never feel threatened by this boy again.
