Why Ontario man faces murder charge for defending his home, while a N.S. man doesn't

Police and prosecutors sometimes make good decisions on the issue, said Daniel Brown, president of the Criminal Lawyers Association of Ontario.Article content

Brown represented a man charged with aggravated assault after he confronted and, during a scuffle, stabbed a man who had broken into his house and entered a bedroom where his mother-in-law slept. The burglar even applied to the Ontario government for victim-of-crime compensation.

“The charges laid in relation to the shooting … are serious and are reflective of the evidence collected by homicide and forensic investigators,” said the force in its statement, declining to provide further details. In the Halifax case last month, two men tried to break into a home when they were accosted by one of the residents. A man was stabbed to death, but no charges laid based on evidence officers had gathered, city police said at the time.

A juror has the right to acquit if they think a conviction would be unjust. Lawyers can't say so at trial, so jurors must know in advance and not mention it before being seated, or they'll be dismissed by prosecutors, who want only sheep.

Justin Trudeau really needs to resign

He did nothing wrong and shouldn’t be charged. You’re not a victim if you’re armed and invade somebody’s home in the middle of the night

Because under Trudeau's regime criminals have more value than victims

If this is the law, the law needs to change. The victim could do serious time while the real criminals will likely walk away with parole - except for the one who got what was coming to him

Should have never called the cops as I doubt the thugs would ever come back for a second round...

“What we’re trying to do here is to balance the security of the person who is being subjected to some sort of attack or assault on the one hand, with the security of the person who might get shot….” Fuck that. If you break and enter, you should be ready to be shot.

2) But the life of the criminal is not the same as the life of the victim. The victim has the moral right to defend himself by any means possible. In the situation, he is not going to stop and analyze what is 'reasonable'. That is a subjective assessment.

1) What we’re trying to do here is to balance the security of the person who is being subjected to some sort of attack or assault on the one hand, with the security of the person who might get shot…. We don’t want to undervalue either of those lives.”

It’s the guns. The hyperbolic political focus on guns. But everything in this story indicates reasonable and lawful self-defence.

Four armed men, the kid shoots 1 single bullet, the model of restraint given the situation it would seem, yet he still gets charged?! Complete joke
