Wrong. There is obviously more to the story. Even going off your ramblings, the home owner had the right to THREATEN to shoot the burglar to stop him outside his house while on his property.

At that point, if he reached in his back pocket, the home owner is fearing for his life. He shot him. He gets away every time.

That's why I said there is more to this story.

This is correct; however, you do not have the right to use deadly force.

I would agree with this also; however, in this case the jury did not. You never know how a jury will see things. Your belief that your life is in danger for the purposes of self-defense is determined objectively, not subjectively, which is why I am assuming the jury convicted.
