They still have one less criminal stealing from them. But the jury cannot appreciate that; they seem to want to have the government take more money from them to lock the criminals away so they can be let out to do more crime.

But the jury cannot appreciate that

The jury is not called to judge the crime of theft. The alleged thief will never get his day in court because he is dead. He is dead because someone premeditated killed him. Not in self defense and not in defense of property. You can't put property in danger with the intent to shoot someone and then 'save' it by shooting someone. Elimination of a 'potential' criminal is not a legally recognized justification for shooting someone. We are a nation of laws and I for one want it to stay that way.
