The unfortunate thing is that the homeowner didn't kill this perp. There have been similar cases and the bad guy usually wins because he is disabled for life and cannot work because of the homeowner's actions.
You mean - he cant break into any more houses?
There was a case like this in Britain, and the homeowner was CHARGED, and sentenced to longer in jail than the burglar whom he violently repulsed. It was judged to be an assault.
