Man Shoots "Burglar" Six Times In The Back. Important Footage Goes Missing.
A man says on his surveillance camera he saw someone in a hoodie climb over a fence into an his apartment complex. He says recognized the person because he'd seen them on his footage twice in the last 10 days trying to break into his house.
So he got his gun and followed the person over a fence into an apartment complex. He also suspected the person was armed. He says he confronted the person when he saw them looking into the windows of apartments.
He pulled his gun on the peeper grabbed him to detain him. A struggle ensued, and he ended up shooting the guy several times in the back and the back of the neck. He was right the guy was armed, but now he's facing a second degree murder charge and he says he doesn't know what happened to his DVR. It has mysteriously gone missing.

Shooting someone in the back is an enormously stupid move, but at least your lawyer can try to convince a jury it happened in the heat of the moment. Hiding your DVR is a far, far worse move. Shooting someone in the back and then stealing your own DVR is a terrible idea because it shows planning. Idiot.

Dude obviously wasn't fearful for his life if he followed a armed burglar over a fence. That thar is picking a fight.
DVR or no DVR, he's done. It's the difference between murder 2 and murder 1 at this point, isn't it?
Why is he 'done'? This happened in the wild west Florida.....
What about temporary insanity? A lawyer should be able to argue that a victims state of mind during a crime is completely different than an intruders, or a cops. These people are trained for these situations. A victim obviously has the defense that fear overwhelmed them, and with good cause. One question to the jury: are you SURE that you wouldnt do the same if in my shoes?
