I'm saying two things:

(1) It is always a bad idea to break into someone's house.

(2) It is always a bad idea to murder a helpless woman in cold blood.

If she hadn't broken into the house, she wouldn't be dead.

If he hadn't murdered a helpless woman, he wouldn't be dying in prison.

2 isn't necessarily correct. From his wording, it sounds like she was dying already from the initial shots and he put her out of her misery.

Of course, you are free to spin it the other way if that is your inclination.
