Your philosophy is reasonable Jim, imo.
So, these two robbers have crossed your perimeter, you shoot 'em in your house, and they're down. No problem.
Now, are you gonna execute two teens while they're incapacitated, wait a day, seek a lawyer and then call police? Or, are you gonna call police immediately after you've taken control by incapacitating them and then let the law do its thing?
Smith chose option A. He's therefore a murderer, imo.
