And seriously, how many people would read that judgement and consider it to be good an fair? It's completely absurd.

I realize you shouldn't be allowed to booby trap your property but you shouldn't have to make sure it's 100% safe in the off chance someone breaks in either.
Even weirder when you think it happened in the States, where you can shoot intruders. If they had just shot him, everything woulda been fine (for them).

So weird that you can injure/kill someone on your property in self defense, but if your property does, it's a crime.
