Some people may say killing a burglar is over reacting but my opinion is that if the burglar was'nt breaking into my house I would not have killed him.
I believe that when you commit crime you give up your human rights to be treated fairly.
How about saying "If you commit a crime, any you are responsible for any resulting situation."
ie. Adam breaks in, Adam is shot by Eve, Adam is prosecuted for wounding. Eve can be tried as well, but could be deemed to be acting reasonable. Adam could not be. Adam could in fact be charged with anything, including murder of Eve due to a heart-act. I think I could like such a law.
As I understand it (and I'm happy to be corrected on this) - if you commit a federal offence in the USA and someone dies in the process - you can be tried for murder. Even if the death would normally be considered an accident (like you knock them over as you run away and they bang their head and die).
If that's true then I like that law.I think you are right, looks like they got one thing right in two hundred years.
