1207 REVIEW GRANTED A landowner's statutory immunity from liability for injuries sustained by a person committing a felony on the premises does not extend to intentional acts of the landowner, such as shooting the felon, but a landowner is privileged to use reasonable force in defense of self and property; a nolo plea in a criminal prosecution is not conclusive evidence of guilt in a subsequent civil proceeding.CitationCALVILLO-SILVA v HOME GROCERY (Robbery Shooting) 43 CA4 1720 [See: CivC 847; Boyer v Waples 206 CA2 725; Lowry v Standard 54 CA2 782; Teitelbaum v Dominion 58 C2 601; People v Goodrum 228 CA3 397]
