I saw that, she was very brave! You don't know what you can do until you're faced with it. Lost her husband on Christmas and then those idiots try and break in on her. Terrible.

They were after the prescription meds, go figure, one of them paid a hefty price.

Hubby and I "wooooped" for her! Good for her to protect her newborn...never cross a momma with a baby!

I don't feel it was right to charge the accomplice with murder. Attempted robbery/break in.

Screw him. Shame she didn't open him up too. Instead, me and every other taxpaying Oklahoman get to foot the bill for his stay behind The Wall. We don't BS around down here....someone gets shot and killed legally, the surviving offender is gonna pay.

Still I don't care if I am assassinating the president. Don't put a crime on me I didn't commit.

Should he get the death penalty? Personally, no! Spend years behind bars? YES!

Most states have laws that make all persons involved in a crime responsible for the injury or death of anyone during the course of that crime. One of the intruders was killed; that equates to murder in this case, and therefore according to state law, the accomplice can and should be charged. If you dislike that, work to get the sgtatute changed. Don;t expect many to be sympathetic to you, though. Consider it this way--what if instead of the victim doing the shooting, imagined that she or her infant were killed. Would you still think that the accomplice should not be charged with their deaths?
