Again, he's protected by the letter of the law, not the intent of the law. He essentially got away with double murder on a technicality.
And btw, I've read quotes from the guy admitting he made a mistake and would stay inside if given a chance to do it over again.

I never said 12 year olds could have guns. Dr.Zoidberg brought the example of 12 year olds. But by saying "12 year olds can't have guns", you're implying they are law abiding 12 year olds. If they have broken into a house and stolen goods, then they are not law abiding 12 year olds. They could have taken their daddy's gun, since in this hypothetical situation they are not law abiding citizens.
And while I respect your opinion that it wasn't "reasonable" to shoot these men, the jury disagreed. They acquitted.
And I have no doubt he regrets it and says he shouldn't have done it. Who walks around proud of having killed someone?
