No, he must have either been sleep walking or messing with your wife/husband

Thats amazing...shoot anybody that breaks into your house. Hah. I sure as heck will not even consider going to anybody's house without letting them know first.

While they are very lax on some of these laws, you still have to use what they call necessary force. And you must be able to prove that you felt threatened. A wrongful death case will be filed if you kill someone in your home. But if you are justified (you are almost always justified), your home owners insurance will pay any fines, or reparations.

What if they were invited in by a family member who lives there (as would be the case in adultery)?
I could see if it's limited to break ins... but if not, how do they determine whether or not you or a housemate invited the person in?

It wouldn't matter. You didn't know that.

Wouldnt it suck if your name wasnt on the lease and you shot someone at the home you live in. I am trying not to laugh on this one.

That seems like a terribly crafted law.
You could shoot your in-laws if you had a good jury-picking lawyer.

If anyone in my house wanted to invite anyone to my house, I'd know about it first. I was also only referring to someone coming in uninvited in the middle of the night. But any uninvited guest in my house is taking a huge gamble.

I think if you knew they were your in-laws and they didn't attack you, the "reasonable person" rule applies. Of course they were invited by your wife. Duh. But if some strange man in top of your wife and she cries rape that's a whole different matter. In that case no jury is even needed. It's simply not against the law here to shoot him.

Nobody seems to be mentioning the moron who was messing around with her. Did he not know what a precarious situation he was putting himself in?

He holds (maybe not legally, but still) some responsibility for being involved in such a thing.

I can’t say as I feel very sorry for him.
