Back in the day, the plan was to shoot them in the knees. Dad said hell no. Head or heart shot. Can’t testify and it’s your word against nothing.

Yep. Dead men tell no tales. Shoot someone in the knees? Then a 1st year 25 year old liberal prosecutor will have an EASY time convincing a <100 IQ jury that" Mr and Mrs Juror, my poor client made a honest mistake entering the house. There was no lethal threat because if there was, the first shot would have been lethal. Now pay me and my client for the rest of your miserable life"

Yup.
Pretty much.
