There's no need to "defend" yourself from someone who is trying to flee.

If you break into someone's house, getting shot in the head is one of the risks you take. I'm glad the burglar is dead, and I don't feel too bad that the man who shot him has been arrested. Sounds like the world will be a better place without them.

Two people are breaking into your home and one has a 1911, and a crowbar..they assume you're an easy target because they know of a prior conviction. So, you open fire, they are surprised and try to run obviously.
So, murder charge for you even though they were armed.

Don't pretend you know how you would handle yourself in that scenario without training.
There would be no need to "defend" himself if the assholes didn't break into his home.

I'd proudly sit on that jury and acquit him of all murder and marijuana charges. He shouldn't have had a gun though.
