   Hamilton-area homeowner who gunned down car thief has acquittal quashed, faces   
   new trial   
      
   A Hamilton-area homeowner who gunned down a would-be car thief seconds after a   
   driveway confrontation will again have to stand trial on second-degree murder,   
   Ontario’s top court ruled on Wednesday.   
      
   In its unanimous decision, the Court of Appeal found the trial judge was wrong   
   in how he instructed the jury that acquitted Peter Khill, of Binbrook, Ont.   
   Khill had argued he was acting in self-defence when he fatally shot John   
   Styres in the early hours    
   of Feb. 4, 2016.   
      
   “The trial judge failed to instruct the jury to consider Mr. Khill’s   
   conduct during the incident leading up to the shooting of Mr. Styres when   
   assessing the reasonableness of that shooting,” Justice David Doherty wrote   
   for the court.   
      
   The case initially took on racism overtones because Styres was Indigenous,   
   although there was no evidence Khill knew that when he opened fire.   
      
   Khill had argued at trial that his four years of training as an army reservist   
   had kicked in when he instinctively grabbed a loaded Remington shotgun in his   
   bedroom and went barefoot outside into the frigid darkness wearing a T-shirt   
   and boxers to    
   confront Styres.   
      
   Within seconds of spotting Styres leaning into his 15-year-old pickup truck,   
   Khill yelled “hands up” and opened fire twice from just a few metres away,   
   hitting him squarely in the chest. Styres, 29, who had no gun but may have had   
   a screwdriver, died    
   almost immediately.   
      
   Only then did Khill’s girlfriend call 911 to the semi-rural property on the   
   edge of Hamilton.   
      
   Khill, who was 26 at the time of the shooting, testified in his own defence   
   that he had no choice but to open fire on Styres, a father of two from   
   Ohsweken, Ont., on the Six Nations of the Grand River reserve, about 30   
   minutes away.
