This case is new enough to have a lot of information about it on the interweb. Do you have more details, such as a city and county, so we can search for it?

He did the right thing, the name of the game is to stop the threat. But the prosecutor was able to paint a picture to the jury that he used 'excessive force'.
He was found guilty.
When the Judge sentence him he told him I hate to do this but my hands are tied.
He gave him 25 to life. Will he do all of that doubtful, but there is a good chance he will die in prison.
On the very next day the courts allowed the victims family to sue him for everything he owns, so that even if he gets a new trial on appeal and gets out he will no longer have his home.
