Does it also allow you to hang them from the "castle" walls, pour encourager les autres? That would be REALLY cool!

>Ohio has just passed the "Castle" law. The burden of proof is now on the prosecution if it chooses to prosecute a homeowner who kills an intruder. This includes gunning them down as they leave. You no longer have to drag the body back inside.

>>A Hope Mills man who was involved in a shooting at the troubled Palomino night club was sentenced to federal prison Friday on a gun possession charge.
>>
>>The defendant was also involved in a break-in of a soldier’s apartment in May 2007 which turned deadly after the soldier started shooting.
>>
>>U.S. District Judge Terrence W. Boyle sentenced 20-year-old Torrian Dontez Knowles to four years, two months in prison plus three years of probation. Knowles pleaded guilty in March to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He had previously been convicted of felony breaking-and-entering.
>>
>>In the gun possession case, according to court papers and a news release from the U.S. Attorney Office, Knowles fired a gun from a car during a fight in The Palomino’s parking lot in November 2006. An off-duty Fayetteville police officer saw him fire the gun and arrested him.
>>
>>Knowles’ lawyer said in a court filing that Knowles grabbed the gun from an acquaintance in the car “and fired a shot up into the air to quell the commotion. Never did Mr. Knowles point the gun at anyone or worse.
>>
>>“What he did was reckless and stupid, but no one was injured,” wrote his lawyer, Joseph Craven.
>>
>>Police complaints of shootings, fights, and other crime at The Palomino prompted city officials to shut it down this summer.
>>
>>Knowles was arrested again with a gun twice in 2007, court papers say, both times with Michael Fripp.
>>
>>Knowles, Fripp, Kwuamae Keaton and Buchkechio Geddie were accused of a home invasion in May 2007 in Lakeshore Grande apartments near Cross Creek Mall.
>>
>>According to the prosecution, Knowles and Geddie broke in while Keaton waited in a car and Fripp stood lookout.
>>
>>The break-in woke the soldier, who was in his bedroom with his wife. Geddie ran into the bedroom and the soldier shot and killed him.

>>
>>Fripp pleaded guilty in state court in April to burglary and conspiracy charges for the break-in, plus several unrelated charges. He is serving a sentence of seven years, two months.
>>
>>Knowles and Keaton are charged with burglary and conspiracy and await prosecution in the break-in case.
>>
>>

>>
>>The original story of the break-in:

>>
>>Just in case anyone is unsure, all four men were armed during the invasion/break-in:
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
