And um, you do realize that the death sentence is only given to people who kill continuously or in a gruesome manner, right?
That is not exactly true, there are a number of charges that can be considered captial crimes.

To my knowledge, there is nowhere in the U.S. where one can, shoot, stab, strangle, bludgeon, bore, electrocute, explode, implode, poison, drowned, or talk someone to death for just breaking into your house.

Burglary is not a captial crime, hence deadly force cannot be used, plain and simlple.

If you catch someone sneeking off with your TV under their arm you almost have to help them put it in the car, but if a couple of drug crazed lackeys kick down your front door,and are brandishing weapons, a la the latest home invasion trend, please feel free to balze away.

The difference: Eminent Personal Harm. This is basically the only reason U.S.courts will take for capping someone in your home.

Exactly. It's very easy to get someone to go to a secluded area, and just say "He was stealing from me" a month later in court.
I suggest you don`t try this, its not that simple.
