Wait a minute. There has to be more to this story.

The appellate judges wrote in their opinion Kozlosky had recently learned Coleman had killed a man in 1990, had a concealed weapon conviction and had personally observed Coleman’s violent behavior towards McNaughton. The judges wrote given that knowledge, “Kozlosky’s belief that he was in imminent danger was well founded.”

How stupid can someone be to convict this guy?

From original news story on the shooting:

"One of the woman's family members told The Plain Dealer that Kozlosky had previously threatened to kill Coleman if he ever came to the house."

So basically, someone claimed he had threatened Coleman, and ergo, this automatically negates his right to not only self-defense, but defense of other.
