Homeowner charged with murder after fatal stabbing during Portage car break-in
Original: Homeowner faces murder charge after stabbing man during attempted Portage car break-in
A homeowner in Portage, Michigan faces a murder charge after stabbing a man during an attempted car break-in. Prosecutors have decided the use of force went beyond self-defence, turning what began as an intrusion into a homicide case. The charge is likely to fuel local debate over where self-defence rights end in home and property protection.
Why now: The murder charge against a homeowner who used force during a break-in raises contested questions about self-defence limits
