Did he LURE the teens into breaking his window and entering his house? How can they charge him with PREmeditated murder unless he committed an act that would ensure that the teens would break in?

I’m sorry that the teens are dead, but they are at fault -— plain and simple.

This story could just have easily been about a 69 year old man beaten to death in his own basement by a pair of teen-aged burglars.

If I were a juror I’d discount what he said to cops as being under some duress, just by virtue of the stress of the incident. Things said under those heated conditions shouldn’t carry any special weight. If anything.... Things said to police immediately after events should be given a lesser priority. They’re usually wrong anyway.
