Sure we do, as we are the ones discussing the case here. You can’t simply assert “he was an intruder” when we all can see that is factually false.

You could say “the father thought he was an intruder” and that would be fine, but to say “he was an intruder” is a demonstrably false statement.

I’m pretty sure discussing the case here is purely for entertainment purposes. We have no affect on the actual humans involved.

How did he get into the house? Did he knock at the door and get admitted? Did he come through a window with or without the lass's help? Unless he came through the front door at the invitation of the person who answered the door, he was an intruder even if he wasturning his life around and about to go back to school etc. Did Dad tell her previously that she could not have men in her room? If he did, the guy was an intruder. My daughter is 42 and unmarried. If I find a man in her room (she doesn't live in my house but she often stays for a few days at a time), especially crouching, he will have a gun pointed at him. If he moves in any way that I have not instructed him, he will be dead.
