True, but this is Indiana. And I dont know Indiana law in detail enough to say, but the prosecutor quoted implies that the act of making entry is sufficient.

Indiana’s castle does NOT require the intruder to be inside the home, at least according to this article.

I think this case will still go to trial, civilly if not criminally.
