Theodore Wafer will do at least 17 years.

I hope that the lesson is learned, that being afraid for your life is a good start to justifying self-defense, but it still requires more than just your fear. The mere perception of a threat is not enough. There actually needs to be an actual threat before you can justify using deadly force.

What is truly sad about this incident, is if he was truly afraid all he had to do is show the gun and say, "Get the hell off of my property. What are doing here?"

Shooting a gun without any evidence of having seen the victim with a gun is completely unjustifiable. Complete over reaction.
