No, it's because NY only allows deadly force in defense of life.
The thief/attempted murderer was walking away from the victim when he was run down. In most states, you have to demonstrate fear for your life (or that of a family member such as wife/kid) when using deadly force.
Legally, he made a very poor choice. [Post edited by USN_Hokie at 02/14/2016 09:42AM]
