Hmmm. The article indicates a broken window, and further ‘medical and forensic evidence’. If the broken window was the point of access, it might indicate that a lot of the cuts sustained by the alleged intruder could be traced to the broken glass. That fact would change the entire scenario. It then becomes ‘much ado about nothing’.
Is it then “open season” to capture and torture an intruder for months on end? How about a kid who loses their ball in your back yard then jumps the fence, bat in hand, to retrieve it? Still “open season”? How do we otherwise draw the lines between these examples and one where a knife is used in am act of desperation leading to the death of a violent intruder?
Try arguing in good faith.
