1) Any state can bring charges against a member of another state if they committed a crime that is punishable. That is international law.... Other instances where this is routinely practiced is sex tourism, terrorism, drug offenses or weapons trafficking.

2) Anyone that sets a trap with the published intent on killing a burglar is an idiot.

3) Anyone that records such an act is even dumber.

4) Anyone that thinks it makes a difference what nationality the burglar was and doesn't see it for murder, is equally foolish.

5) Even in the most backwards places, this is not considered protection of one self and would not fall under the castle doctrine. As gun owner you are not allowed to be cop, judge, jury and executioner.

The jury got the case after both sides presented their arguments and he lost. Obviously his proclamation of wanting to shoot a burglar did him in and it was murder. Germany has no reason to want to extradite a man that is going to receive a harsher sentence in the US than he would in Germany and it was most likely a means to ensure that he is persecuted to the fullest extent of the law and no back room deal is made.
