From a legal perspective, you're right. "Stand your ground" applies to cases where your life is at risk. You can't shoot a person for trespassing or theft (unless it's a nighttime break-in and you can't tell if the intruder is armed, and even then you'll probably lose the civil case).

Having said that, sometimes two wrongs make a right. The kid was obviously a thief and an all-around scumbag, and even though there was no legal right to shoot him, the world is obviously a better place without him.

If the crime comes on your property, for whatever reason, no way should you have to go to prison.

He should pay for his bad judgment some other way.
