This episode seems a little outdated. The UK passed the Crime and Courts act 2 years prior to this production. That requires the response to home intruders to be grossly disproportionate in order to be convicted of a crime, like stabbing an unconscious intruder to death. An old woman shooting an intruder entering her room is not grossly disproportionate and I highly doubt the prosecutors would even pursue charges against the woman. Even arresting her and putting her in a solitary cell for a few hours is excessive.
