本期节目探讨了两起与入室盗窃相关的谋杀案。第一起是发生在密歇根州兰辛市90年代初期的Audrey Sprey案,受害者在家中报警时被枪杀,凶手作案时间极短,只偷走了受害者的钱包。警方通过分析案发现场的鞋印,最终抓获了凶手John Skinner。第二起是发生在明尼苏达州利特尔福尔斯市的Byron Smith案,被告因住宅多次被盗,设下陷阱并枪杀了闯入家中的两名青少年。尽管Byron Smith辩称是自卫,但检方认为其行为构成蓄意谋杀,最终被判处终身监禁。这两起案件都引发了人们对自卫权、城堡教条以及在面对入室盗窃时如何采取合理措施的讨论。Audrey Sprey案中,凶手作案仓促,只为钱财,而Byron Smith案中,被告的行为则显得极端和残忍,其行为超出了正当防卫的界限。
