It's being discussed across the internet, it's already 11 pages over on digitalspy, so I reckon we are safe to discuss it on here.
Not that it will ever end-up in front of a jury, but if it did, I think the BBC is more likely to prejudice them by including the following in the article linked above...
The police are just going through the motions here.

The Tony Martin situation was very different, he shot the guy in the back as he was running away, beyond what is considered 'reasonable force' in protecting himself, in the eyes of the law.

Sure, do remember u75 is ostensibly a South London board, so very local. Of course it can be talked about, but anything that could be prejudicial in a trial, a trial in either direction, should be avoided. Would be very easy for this topic to decend in to, “he was burgling, them’s the breaks” type shit. We are not the USA, it is possible the homeowner went over the top, we just don’t know and until we do it is best to be cautious. Ed is the man who gets shit for what we write, but ultimately we write it and are responsible for what we write.

See dude? We have no idea what happened last night.

It was, but Martin's problem was that the story he came out with - that the burglars had startled him and he fired at a torch - was demonstrably wrong.
If he had fronted up and said what he actually did the jury would have had far more to consider and might have let him off.

Well, we do know this guy didn't use an illegally held pump-action shotgun.

He probably thought he had an easy mark going for that old boy.

Yeah he bubbled himself up cos he’s a dick, his brief was a dick and Old Bill are cunts. Doesn’t change the fact that his shot in anger, not cos of threat. The Bloody Code no longer applies, thieves should not be killed for their crimes.
Easily avoided by not breaking into people’s homes.

Classy.
So what? Burglars are vermin. They’d have my sympathy if they were desperate and did Tesco’s rather than where someone lives.

He wasn't. He was killed for being an agravated burglar brandishing a weapon.

Yeah that's what it says in the op as well. I'm talking about the dead one.

Nicely dehumanised. A 38 year old man, reduced to residential burglary, a crime that is distressing as fuck for the victim and results in very little gain for the perpetrator. Rather than rail against a system which produces that, you go for the result of that system. Speakyerbranes75.net
Corax’s racism and this. Place has gone to shit.
It’s possible to both condemn the system and the burglar. They’re not mutually exclusive.

His choices, just the same as someone stuck in a shit job that choses not to thieve but go to work for a pittance.

I don't know the full story, but based on the assumption that the old lad was indeed held at screwdriverpoint in the kitchen, I'm finding it hard to muster up any sympathy for the dead lad.
But I don't know the full story.

Have you been burgled? I fucking have. I lost about 8k worth of stuff which was never replaced. Despising burglars makes me right wing? You’ve lost control of your faculties.

Are there laws that state you can defend your property over there?
I know they only came in here in 2011

Reduced to residential burglary? You're having a fucking laugh.
As you say, 'little gain for the perpetrator' & 'distressing as fuck for the victim', if he's that desperate, go fuck over a big store, don't go house breaking.
