Consider this... had the situation taken place in the US then Tony Martin would never have faced a prison term....
IMHO he was perfectly justified in defending his property.
I am not suggesting "vigilante Justice" as has been commented earlier, I am merely saying that he took action when he felt his life was in danger to defend himself from people who were intent on robbing him and / or causing him personal injury or worse.
If someone breaks into a building with the intent of harming the occupant and / or depriving the person of their posessions then not only do they forfeit certain rights but they should expect that something physical may happen to them.
a legal system that incarcerates someone for defending his life and property from within his home and then allows the perpetrators of the crime to sue him for loss of earnings due to injuries suffered is perhaps delivering the letter of the law, but it most certainly is NOT delivering justice.
