It is a shame that four of them lived.
Kudos to the home owner for defending his property and family. We need more of these stories to come out and deter the cowardly acts against innocent people.

What I mean by that is pre-meditation is NOT a requirement for 1st Degree as opposed to 2nd Degree or Manslaughter.
Got it.

Probably something along the lines of, "If you're walking down the street and meet up with a snake, you're not gonna bake it a cake."

So far, he has stayed in the middle letting the convicted and their parents discuss it with one of the jury members.

Moral of the story. If you're the victim of crime by a group of criminals, make sure that at least one of them dies in the process.

Someone needs to take ownership of their actions.

For the homeowner!Posted on 1/17/14 at 4:03 pm to Master of Sinanju
Dr. Phil polled the audience on whether it was a just outcome. Only three people said yes. He then asked who thought it was unjust, and the rest of the audience and the parents raised their hands. The convicted teens were on satellite and did not raise their hands. Dr. Phil said, "Boys, I noticed none of you raised your hands", and then all of their hands shot straight up. 
Dr. Phil said he thought the sentence was crazy and hoped the sentence would be reduced on appeal.

Maybe they should have picked better friends.

I expect the other 4 started pissing themselves when that hole opened up in their friend's chest.

The homeowner shot and killed one of them, and the other four were charged with murder of their friend and sentenced to 45 years even though the homeowner killed him. The law in Indiana is that if someone dies during the commission of a felony, everyone involved is charged with murder.
The law in most place. Never heard of it used like that though.

Very common. The jist is that it was the actions of the perps (dead guy and friends) who really caused the death in that situation. If they had not broken into the house, the home owner would not have (justly) defended himself and his property against an unknown threat, and the dead guy would still be alive.
The dead guy and his friends should have followed the "stupid rule": don't do stupid things in stupid places with stupid people.

Contrary to popular belief, pre-meditation has very little to do with 1st Degree Murder.
You are correct for Louisiana law but Louisiana law differs significantly from other states. In other states 1st degree is for premeditation. In Louisiana 1st degree is reserved for real heinous offenders.
