D admits that all she saw was the P moving, not moving toward her, also that previous break-ins resulted only in property loss. Recovery will depend on whether jury buys one of the defenses. D will try to persuade the jury that this was a dwelling because they live upstairs. If the jury believes that there was reasonable apparent threat to D and her family, they may deny recovery based on self defense or defense of others. In Kansas, P is probably sunk.
Same defenses apply here.
Recovery unlikely also because damages for assault here are minimal, and because was P privileged to assault to protect property even if not privileged to strike. Defenses Private necessity one is privileged to use, damage or destroy private property if reasonably necessary to preserve human life. D should still have to pay for damages. Although there is a prima facie case, it is possible the private necessity defense would work to deny P damages. Considering there were no actual damages, it may not be worth bringing.
