The Commie Rat Bastard LA County DA will have no trouble charging this guy. After all, he's not a hardened career criminal.

Hope he’s got a good lawyer being in LA.

If you google that area, all the homes have 3 car garages, a good amount of inground pools, and it appears to be like a neighborhood HOA type of deal. So there are rich voters there. He might be ok.

He is a total c*** but every time I've seen someone shoot a home invader out here it gets ruled self defense very quickly.

What Gascon will do is let the 2nd perp walk when the cops catch him.

The law here is clear on self defense in the home.

Does California follow the Castle doctrine? (Penal Code 198.5)

California Penal Code 198.5 applies the Castle Doctrine to a resident who uses force against an intruder who breaks into a home.

So, should the second perp turn himself in?
He won't be charged,
and then he can sue the homeowner for pain and suffering.

No, of course not. He should go to the nearest mall, smash and grab some Louis Viton bags, maybe rape a chick on the way out, and look forward to being home by dinner time.
