Someone breaks into my house.
We struggle, i push him through a huge glass pane..
one of the broken pieces slices and dices his larynx and he bleeds to death.

cops come.

am i guilty of anything? i am in california.
assume we are both bare handed...he might have had a knife/gun, but he lost it in the struggle.

PICTURE.

What we decided...

Final, no more updates.
Yes, this is just a hypothetical enactment and nothing is for real.
 
No idea, seems like his death is an accident. Considering he broke into your house, I doubt it, but I don't know CA's laws. In Texas that'd be perfectly ok. Course, he'd be on the receiving end of some slugs though before we ever made it to hand to hand combat.

He is in Cali, so he might as well go ahead and auction off all of his assets and give them to the intruders family.

This is all still hypothetical right?

Or did it just happen and your asking ATOT before you call the cops?

yeah..i might have to 'recreate' and 'corroborate' the scene a little if u guys think i might go to jail...
 
If you don't call an ambulance for him while he's bleeding on your lawn, they may charge you with a high degree of negligence.

no worries...he's indoors. duh...if he was outside how the heck would i be able to 'recreate' the scene since there will be passers-by and sh1t.

i would say self difence but you never know, if he had a gun then that would be a different story
 
When they go through your internet history, they'll find this thread.

*waves at the officer reading this*

😉
 
are you a black belt karate guy? you would've to register your hands as a legal weapon.

how is the dead man gonna sue you? or will you be charged for homicide?
 
You cannot defend property with deadly force, so the nature of the struggle would determine the legality. Since the bad guy can no longer tell his side, all you need to do is say that you were defending your person rather than your peoperty.
