You can stab a burglar in America.

You can if you are in danger in that soggy little island too.

And you should be allowed to here too.

You are if you are in danger.

If you do you'll be prosecuted and msot likely found guilty. Ask Tony
Martin.

I seem to recall, from the news reports, that in TM's case the guy who
was shot was running away, therefore TM was no longer in danger.
There is a subtle difference here, which makes a big difference, in
the actions that you are allowed to take.

or so someone claimed. That's the problem, anyone can claim anything and
probably will.

It isnt that hard to work out whether someone has been shot
in the back or the front and where the rest of the birdshot
ended up that didn't end up in the body of the burglar.

When prosecutors dont know the facts

They did in this case.

they can be very keen on make-it-up.

Bull****.
