Here is the rest of the story,these two sleazebags were attacking this guy in his own house and he killed one of them !!!
The office also noted various forms of evidence, including witness statements, physical evidence and reports from DNA, blood pattern and toxicology experts, it planned to use during the trial. Wells had raised a self-defense argument to the charges, contending he stabbed the Wanats to protect himself from their attack in his home, according to the office.
Police and prosecutors allege Wells stabbed to death Edward Wanat and injured his son, Andrew, during an early evening altercation in Kailua-Kona. At the time of the stabbing, court orders prohibited contact between the Wanats and Wells.
According to police, the altercation led to the elder Wanat being fatally stabbed in the chest and abdomen and the younger Wanat receiving stab wounds to his arms, hands, shoulder and face.
Unrelated to the stabbing incident, Andrew Wanat was charged in July with attempted first-degree robbery and second-degree assault after he reportedly tried to steal from a Kailua-Kona man at the McDonald's parking lot in Kailua-Kona.
Wanat allegedly shot the man in the chest with a pellet gun before fleeing the scene in a car driven by another individual.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges July 22 before Strance. His trail has been set for Nov. 29.
