Based on the way the statute was written, the homeowner probably still gets a pass (depending on circumstances), under the phrasing "the person reasonably believes that the other person is: Committing or attempting to commit a burglary in a dwelling"  I think even if not charged, the homeowner might have a case by saying, "I reasonably thought he was going to try to burgle my house".  The fact that Wilson was charged helps a lot, since it was "reasonable" enough that the DA brought charges.
