@Sub,
As far as the dog issue on this program. The man who does the breaking and entering is not under any stress or having foreboding feelings of getting caught. Dogs can sense this. Sure there are plenty of happy go lucky dogs that no matter who shows up he will show them the silverware.
I have two dogs. A poodle(happy go lucky) and a wire hair pointing griffon(not so happy go lucky but not a bitter). She will charge a stranger to say hello but 50lbs coming at you full speed barking just to say hello is pretty scary. I guess it depends on the dog.
NY is always a different story
. No reason to be sorry. The home owner clobbered the intruder. OK in my book. This dumb dumb should not have been in the house. Just great the cops were avoiding a long drawn out court appearances for the home owner. The cops get tired of this crap also. Most time the victim has less rights than the accused.
As far as prosecutors and defense lawyers, just make the jury cry over something and the case is won. Gee, Joe intruder was just trying to feed his family(show pictures of family) and John home owner popped a cap in his rear killing him. Now Joe Intruders family is without a father
. Ok, Joe intruders family gets monies in a wrongful death suit. John home owner sells property to pay for more lawyers and appeals.
