That is such good news and the only sensible conclusion.

And the law..
This is how our system works, a judgement made elsewhere sets legal precedent which other courts are duty bound to follow.

Only where the precedent has been set by a higher court than the one trying the case. Precedent does not have to be followed if set by a lower level court of one at the same level.

You are correct there Sticks as far as I am aware. Of course, a lot of 'Iffy' Judges do not always follow them and 'do their own thing'

It's simply not true that precedent can't be "rewritten", otherwise we would still be following precedent set centuries ago .
Also, in cases like this, sentencing judges often "get around" precedent by giving pretty-much-nothing sentences even when there is a conviction. |

Unless the family of the dead burglar successfully apply for judicial review of the decision not to charge the pensioner...

The police were never going to charge this man. You are allowed to use a lot more force in your own home than you are, say, in the street. For instance, you don't have to wait for the burglar to attack you if you feel your life or the lives of your family are at risk. And the burglar had a screwdriver, so was armed.
Lots of people mentioned Tony Martin, which was an entirely different case. Not only was his gun illegal, he had it ready. I have a shotgun (because I shoot clays, I don't do post offices or anything...) and there are very strict rules about how your gun is stored. By the time I'd got the key, which is kept apart from the gun cabinet, opened the cabinet, got the gun out, loaded it, because she cartridges aren't kept with the gun... the burglars would be out the door with my telly. |

A family of known criminals and cowards. Two men, one armed with a screwdriver, break into an elderly couples home at night and regularly target the elderly. Scumbags is too polite a word for the lot of them. Who will listen or care.
