Under Section 40 of the Criminal Code, which deals with defending your house - everyone who is in possession of a dwelling house is justified in using as much force as necessary, to prevent any person from forcibly breaking into or entering the dwelling house without lawful authority.
The court must have determined that shooting Boushie was justified. He trespassed on a property, was committing a crime, and took a weapon with him. It would be easy for the defense to establish that taking a weapon with him when attempting to rob a house meant Boushie was ready to use it, if necessary.
Once it was established that Boushie was prepared to use his rifle during the commission of a crime, then Stanley's actions became easier to justify. Stanley used enough force as was necessary. To my mind, that was the crux of the argument and the reason for the not guilty verdict.

And for sake of argument, lets say he was guilty. Could it be proved beyond reasonable doubt?
Are you asking if Stanley was quilty? Given that no one was there to witness what happened, or what, if anything, was said, I don't think so.
But I was not in the courtroom. None of us was, so we are speculating. The judge usually makes a statement after ruling. Perhaps we will find out how the verdict was decided.
I'm inclined to agree with you, what I'm alluding to is he was found to be not guilty, which doesn't mean innocent - only that there was insufficient proof. The man will still live "under a cloud" for the rest of his days.
And mark my words, he will be disarmed by the state.
Luckily, Some friend or relative will loan him a 12 ga pump.
Under a cloud? Hell no! He's a hero in some circles. Maybe, the NRA will give him the "I killed for Freedom" award. Opportunities to actually use your guns for what they are meant to be used for are few and far between, although it appears that opportunities are opening up, now.
The only problem I have with this case is not the verdict but the use of peremptory challenge in jury selection instead of challenge for cause......
Here's some advice: When you have had every point you've raised trashed, it is time to STFU.
STFU.

No worries, Colpy.................he's just being himself!
Oooooooh Sleepy, your technicalities are a little beyond my level of sophistication.
Not to worry, Colby. Your chance to use one of your guns to kill someone will come along, too ...if it hasn't already. It's "okay" to do that, now. A jury in Boondocks Saskachewan says so.
I can't decide if you're a tragedy or a comedy. One thing I do know is that you are such a f*cking delusional hypocrite that you can't see your own obvious hypocricy and bigotry consistantly on display in almost every post you make. It's amazing how you actually believe that the way to defend virtue is belittle and insult literally everyone. I know you have conviced yourself that people give a shit about your opinion depite the constant negative feeback you recieve, but trust me...they really don't.
When your only debating tactic is bitter contempt for everyone, you lose everyone's respect and attention, and the only reaction you may get is pity.
I'm wondering if Trudeau isn't acting like a bit of an idiot in this case! I think he's ignoring the fact that possibly First Nations in this case are overwhelmed by emotions which are getting in the way of the facts.
