LEBANON, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana homeowner accused of killing a house cleaner who mistakenly arrived at his front door was charged with voluntary manslaughter on Monday in a case that could test the limits of stand-your-ground laws.

Curt Anderson, 62, could face anywhere from 10 to 30 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if he’s convicted. He was being held in the Boone County Jail pending an initial court hearing.

      Is it even relevant that they were thieves? Considering there was no danger to himself or others until he chased them with a shotgun?

        Of course there is a difference to stealing stuff from kids to make someone come over to get it back and then murdering them to this case?! How is that even a question?
