My reply was:-

Providing the force use is considered as Reasonable then no charge. However, if for example you have advertised here what you would do, then like Tony Martin the Norfolk farmer, you will almost certainly be convicted.

I have personal experience of a person who killed a man who was trying to rob him where the coroner's court found that he was killed as a result of 'justifiable homicide.'


It has just been announced that no action will be taken in the case which prompted this thread.

I guess that supports what I have been saying in a number of threads, albeit that some members did not agree with me. !!!!
