I don't have a problem with the charge of murder in either case. It is simply a matter of making the person responsible for their full consequences of their actions, something criminals seem to not understand. They do not understand the aftermath of their actions, the grief, the pain, the anguish, the financial difficulty and the down right inconvenience their minor or major crimes cause the victims. And they do not seem to care either.
I'm really glad that Florida has a castle doctrine. The OP case is a prime example of why we need laws to clarify our right to defend ourselves outside our homes without fear of prosecution.
