Long Beach resident Tom Greer, 80, told KNBC-TV that the burglar had said she was pregnant and asked Greer not to fire, but he shot her twice in the back anyway.
An autopsy later found that Andrea Miller, 28, was not pregnant, said coroner's spokesman Ed Winter.

Prosecutors Friday were waiting for the results of a police investigation into the killing of a burglar by an 80-year-old California homeowner who says he shot the woman in the back as she fled his home and ran down an alley, the district attorney's office said.

..I don't care that she "lied"....she was a criminal and we expect them to be low lifes....
unfortunately for this old guy, his John Wayne days are going to be over....
Not GUILTY!
