The rights of people to defend their homes have been highlighted after a judge said he could not criticise a man who shot and wounded a burglar.
Kenneth Faulkner, 73, who had endured a number of break-ins at his isolated farmhouse in Ockbrook, Derbys, has not faced any charges.
The burglar he shot, John Rae, 22, was given a seven year jail term on Monday.
