Repeating yourself like a stupid parrot doesn't make you right. Just repetitive There are all kinds of situations where you are perfectly in your right to shoot someone "running away" Trying to escape with the goods of a felony theft is one of them Most states DO have a statute to that effect.
Vermont
If the "robber" is still around and absconding with the goods, he is STILL in effect in the process of committing robbery
New Hampshire
I'll leave you to educate yourself about other NE States, which pretty well have similar statutes
Bottom line is your argument will be "I was trying to stop him from committing the crime. Unfortunately, he consequently died from my attempt to stop him." There is jurisprudence, that in effect you will walk..
