I have a friend in MI, came home after a graveyard shift, was hit in the head and left for dead. He woke up and heard his wife screaming, he took a knife from the kitchen and found the burgler holding a gun to his wife and raping her... He killed the rapist... He is serving a 25 year sentence for murder, his life was not directly threatened at the time and he stabbed the rapist in the back.
His wife left him after he was convicted.
Call me cynical, but this story doesn't jibe with me. First, he stabs the guy in the back while his wife was being "raped" and his wife shows her gratitude by dumping him? Sounds more like he came home early one day and surprised the back door man. I can't say I blame the guy, or that I would have done anything different. It just sounds like there's more to that story than you think.
