I don't know exactly what happened at Mr Martin's home, so I have no idea if he intended to kill the boy or if he was just firing a warning shot in the dark, because he was upset & frightened and the boy was in the wrong place.
I suppose that nobody will ever know for sure, but one thing is certain...... the boy wouldn't have been there if the older man hadn't taken him to commit the burglary. Let's hope people who break into houses learned from this......but I doubt they did!

I shouldn't be at all surprised, Muddy, if even putting a ' Beware of the Dog' sign up is seen to be admitting liability of having a dangerous dog!

We are expected to put up burglar alarms ( at our own expense) to stop criminals getting into our houses, yet us doesn't matter that they wake babies & people who are ill
. We are expected to pay contents insurance in the hope that it will cover the cost of things that are stolen..... yet we are not allowed to warn people that they may be hurt if they break into our houses.

Re: Tony Martin - murderer.
Everyone has a choice. We can commit a crime or not commit a crime. If we choose to commit a crime then we have to accept the consequences whatever they might be. The consequences could have worked out differently, he could have got away with it, he could have got caught and then sent to prison or as in this case, someone reacted resulting in his death.In hindsight, I'm sure the burglar would rather have not done it but it's too late, what is done is done. He made his choice and it was a choice that didn't work out well.

Yes, I agree.
I think that about sums it up really.
