He should have gone to a jury trial, he would have had a good chance of at least a hung jury. As others have stated, kicking in a door is a felony nomatter what state you are in.

I don’t waste my time mourning the loss of a home invader, and I certainly would not vote to convict someone who shot one. Drunk or not, that is what the intruder was, even if he did fall asleep on the couch.

The state believed Smith's only crime was trespassing, which is not a felony, Stoll said.

Since the drunk intruder did not kick in any door. He wandered through an unlocked door. Moral of the story is deadly force is a last resort. Having your doors locked should be the first.
