I don't think you understand how the law works. but okay, keep ranting on this thread... and if he gets any sort of decent lawyer with a brain, good luck paying for that guys medical bills. I'm not being harsh at all. IT'S the fact of life of how modern society is, especially state side.
His defense would be so easy;
I was drunk, and walked up into the wrong house, I heard someone run at me, so I ran out.
the guy chased me down the street, I just kept running, but I was out of breath and started to slow.
he caught me; started to try to rustle me down.
- remember now, there's two minutes you 'called' for help and no body "heard you" lots can happen in two minutes, and clearly there's no witness. its your word vs his. and he's got physical wounds YOU inflected to HIM, all your wounds are self inflected attacking the poor guy.

Bam boom kablamo. you're paying off his medical bills + any mental "damages" and court cost.
On top of that, you just let the guy off with his earlier crime, your mums items could of been on you, the courts don't know that, they weren't there. they could of easily of fallen out and he could of grabbed them, or you could of thrown them onto him while you where on top of him...
side note;
Sometimes I wish I could be a lawyer. I always think I'd be pretty good at it...
edit;
It wasn't meant to sound harsh. but he does have a hero complex going on in this post of his. I was simply pointing that out, if that's harsh then maybe what he did WAS wrong. get what I'm trying to say here?
Like what's the point of him pointing out his "neighber" is an Ex-cop who owns this brand-x of ammo? NOTHING. has nothing to do with his original post/story. and I also added for good effort, the fact that his post can land him in some deep doodoo with a nice long civil suit by the guy who entered the house.
No I wasn't there. But from what I can tell by what he's written is more then enough.
Kinda like how it seems no body in his family locks ANYTHING. the fact he got stuff from the car without anyone noticing would mean the doors were already unlocked, and the fact he got into the house so easily, unlocked.
why doesn't he just throw up a sign on the front lawn that says "I got a big screen TV for free, COME AND TAKE IT"
IF he kicked down the door, or smashed a window to get into the house, then it's a different story. and a whole different ball game. but he didn't HE WALKED IN.
