It doesn’t matter if he stole the entire house. You can just people in the street for stealing, and he didn’t even do that.
The best argument (and the only one the dolts have), is self defense.
“can’t shoot”
That is not going anywhere when it goes to trial. The shooter negated that when he committed aggravated assault which turned into aggravated battery which turned into felony murder. Those who believe that has a self defense case should volunteer to represent him when it goes to trial. And it is going to trial. The only question is will it be State Court or Federal Court. Should the Grand Jury No Bill which is very unlikely, the Feds will pick it up.
Which might be a hard case to make since they were by their own admission the instigators of the incident.
