And that's how you do it.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Police said a burglary suspect was shot in self-defense by the homeowner in the Trinity Hills area on Saturday morning.
Anton Cosby, 32, is accused of breaking into the home on Shreeve Lane just before 6 a.m. Saturday. The victim and his family woke up to the sound of banging on the front door and windows.
The homeowner retrieved his firearm and gave Cosby repeated commands to leave. He told Cosby he would fire his weapon, according to police. Cosby then allegedly broke the kitchen window and began to climb through when the homeowner shot him once in the arm.

Homeowner did not break perimeter and even gave advance warning of consequences; Critter chose to continue bad behavior.
Behavior was ballistically modified. ...
Police said Cosby dropped his revolver near the kitchen sink and ran away.
I am guessing that he won't be able to plea misunderstanding or some other BS.
the District Attorney’s office has determined the victim was acting in self-defense and is not expected to face charges for the shooting.
It is sad that we still have to cross fingers and hope for this kind of decision rather than expect it.
Cosby will be charged with aggravated burglary, felony vandalism, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm while intoxicated
And he will probably get charges reduced, low bail or even released without it. And I am not making this up as it seems he has at least three felony charges in his past that never made it anywhere past the system and has not served one day of prison time for them.
