How about this question. Let's say a police officer was killed:
This guy was innocent so naturally he should not be charged for trying to defend his family from what he believed to be intruders.
But what if he wasn't innocent, yet his first impulse was to grab his gun to protect his family from what he believed to be intruders?
Do the parameters of culpability change?
