You are showing your ignorance.
I most certainly would NOT face trial. Why?
Because the state of Texas (like most states) does NOT have a duty to retreat (some states do). Furthermore, it is reasonable to assume that, in a darkened house in the middle of the night, anyone there unlawfully poses a deadly threat.
The reason you can make that assumption is that, as ANY IDIOT SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT, by the time you determine whether or not they pose an actual threat, IT IS TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT if they do.
SO, ONCE AGAIN, THEY MADE THE CHOICE SO THEY CAN PAY THE PRICE. NOT ME!
Furthermore, in most states, your life DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN DANGER before you can use deadly force. In most states you can use deadly force to protect yourself from INJURY.
Why? Because, AS ANY IDIOT SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT, by the time you determine if they only, "MEANT", to cause injury and NOT kill you, it's too late to do anything about if they meant to kill you.
And let's not forget about the thousands of dead people who weren't SUPPOSED to die, just get the living crap kicked out of them.
But who cares about them, the important thing is that their murderer is still alive right?
