They cross that threshold while I'm inside and I can shoot for whatever reason I want, as long as it isn't in the back

so guy breaks into my house but im not supposed to shoot him? LOL
If your inside the house, at least in MS where I live, then there is a rebuttable presumption that your life is in danger if an unlawful entry occurs (FL has this presumption too). You have to be in the house though when the unlawful entry occurs. You cannot find out someone is breaking into your home and then go home and shoot them. You have to call the police and let them handle it. This women could be charged with manslaughter.

Well, technically, yes. You can.
Just not with impunity.

No you cannot. Castle doctrine only applies when the person claiming it is physically inside the dwelling when the illegal entry occurs.

she should have waited until I think he walked out the yard to try to shoot him
Yeah OK. Criminals should have a better opportunity to get away with stealing other people's belongings before the people having the stuff stolen should fight back.
frick that mess

You can shoot when defending yourself or others, but you can't shoot someone just because they are committing burglary. Context matters
Know what matters more? Knowing the actual laws. Quite a few states do indeed mention burglary and other types of robberies as situations where armed self-defense is justified. Maybe you should share Trevon's love of learning sometime.

You and the Vol fan know far less than you should on this topic.

Not much detail on the "confrontation" that took place prior to the shooting.
But many posters are correct in stating witnessing a theft outside your home is not legal justification for the use of lethal force.
I carry, and I believe in the right to bear arms. But the fact remains you can be the one in the pokey if you are quick on the trigger in a questionable circumstance.

This is only available if you are physically in the dwelling, vehicle, or place of employment that the crime is being committed upon. There is a big difference in that, and driving up to your house getting out of your car and shooting the burglar.

surprised the count didn't say, he just needed a few dollars , she should have given him some...

You claimed you cannot defend property with deadly force. You're wrong. There are varying circumstances from place to place but yes, you can defend property with deadly force. I'm not sure this case was one of those times.

Well obviously the police disagree since they didn't arrest her

You seem angry and dumb. A bad combination.
No one ever said you can't defend yourself from a burglar. Only that you can't shoot a burglar when that burglar poses no threat to you or anyone else. If you came home from work one day and found someone who just robbed you dangling from a window you can't chuckle to yourself and then shoot them to death. If you do expect some criminal charges.

I'd be willing to bet that the responding officer asked the lady several times if there was a confrontation.
"Now are you SURE there wasn't a confrontation that made you fear for your life? Did he try to attack you? Force you to defend yourself? Are you sure?"
