I've seen lots of cases like this in daily mail, where the person protecting their property/family, end up being prosecuted. And the intruder/criminal ends up being made out to be the "victim".

well, the way I see it, whether a person has come into your house to steal your Ipod, rape your daughter or murder you makes no difference, the bottom line is they shouldn't be in your home at all and if something happens to them while they're in there then it's there own fault. I believe the law was changed here not so long ago and you are actually allowed to use force to protect yourself, family or property (about time for it too) not that whether it was legal or not would even enter your head I think if it actually happened, I think you would just react really, the whole fight or flight adrenaline would kick in.
