Shooting of theft suspects may test self-defense law

In a case legal experts say may "stretch the limits" of the state's self-defense laws, a Pasadena man shot and killed two suspected burglars during a confrontation as they attempted to flee his neighbor's property Wednesday afternoon.

It is interesting that the "legal experts" mentioned in this article speak
of "self defence laws". Do you think that most readers will associate this
statement to CHL or Castle Doctrine even though neither apply?

I do think this case may very well search the limits of the Penal Code concerning "deadly force".
