    They weren’t, they went over this in the trial.

    He became the aggressor when he removed barriers to entry and laid in wait which is a negative defense for self defense.

      Wikipedia says they broke a window to enter, and that can be heard on audio—I’m not trying to argue with everything, but how is a closed window that had to be broken for entry not a barrier?

        They did, read the testimony. He has the window blocked and he removed it so the window would be the easiest way to enter.

        He set a trap, there’s no legitimate purpose for that.

          The dude clearly murdered them and had violent vigilante fantasies—I don’t argue that one bit.

          That said, they still came up to his house, broke a window, and entered with the intention to burgle it. It doesn’t really matter if the window was previously blocked or made of paper—breaking and entering with the intention of burglary is a crime, and having no block on a window isn’t enticement to have your house burgled.

          Again, before anyone thinks I’m defending him, I fully agree that he is a murderer. I just think the burglars weren’t innocent either. In Reddit lingo, “everyone sucks here”.
