David Fullard, 47, was prosecuted for attacking the two strangers who forced their way into his home and threatened to rape his partner and kill his two teenage children.
He insisted he was a desperate man acting legally in self-defence and struck out once with the ornamental sword, because it was the only weapon to hand.'
So WHY was this man prosecuted - sorry, I meant persecuted?
Why are these two thugs (pictured) not even imprisoned?
