It stood up in court because there were no witnesses, and all they had to go on is his word.
IMO, he went out there set to kill, whether they froze or not.

We have to take into account he's crazy and got nervous. He just said that's what he wanted to do, anyway. He certainly won't get a death sentence.. but he won't get like over a year in jail?

While true in some respects, you fail to recognize that he killed the second thief (the one that didn't charge) for no reason than simple vendetta, which is a crime. Last time I checked, death wasn't the penalty for thievery.
Edit:
"Horn said he turned slightly to the right and fired toward the second man, Ortiz, who ran at a fast pace back in the direction of his neighbor's house. Torres remained in his yard and was walking back toward Horn. He fired a third shot."
The second thief was shot while running AWAY after seeing his partner take a round. Hard to imagine Horn was feeling threatened by a guy high-tailing it.
Indeed. Even if the first guy "charged" him (I call bullshit there), why shoot the second guy who was running away?
Oh yeah, he felt "threatened".

Because when you get attacked your mind isn't always going to be thinking properly. Your reactions are often going to be based on pure instinct and reflexes.
an old man who went out on his own accord with a 12 GUAGE. He didn't feel threatened, he felt bloodlust.

Here we go again, "attacked".......Even if he was "attacked", WHY shoot the second guy in the back as he FLEES? I don't buy it.

So he didnt venture out with the intent to kill? Maybe you should listen to the 911 call again.

So when I say he wasnt charged because no one in their right mind would charge a man with a 12 guage I am full of shit, but when you take him at his word that he was indeed charged, attacked, or whatever, it's fact?

I think he was an old man who was fearing for his life because he witnessed two unknown people breaking into his neighbors house and had no idea if they were coming to his house next. I think you should listen to the 911 call again because the man sounds as if he is just rambling and has no coherent thought whatsoever.
I think he acted without thinking and made two mistakes that will haunt him to his grave.
What he did was drastic and stupid, but you act as if you've never been in a situation where you weren't thinking and you said or did something that you later regretted. I feel that this is what happened to him, except on a much larger scale.
I don't think he was racially motivated, I don't think he was planning all along to kill these people and I don't think he was in a "bloodlust". He made the biggest mistakes of his life and he has to live with them.

Then he should have stayed inside and covered the door with his shotgun instead of being all gung ho and PURSUING them.
