SPRINGFIELD -- A prosecutor on Thursday in Hampden Superior Court said Springfield resident Sean McCarthy was "absolutely within his rights as a homeowner" when he shot and injured Jordan Eady on Feb. 7, 2015.

McCarthy was not charged with any crime, as police said the shooting was justified. McCarthy is a licensed gun owner.

Eady, 26, who was shot in the torso and arm by McCarthy, and his brother, Jovan Eady, 24, are on trial. The Eady brothers live in East Longmeadow with their father. Jordan Eady was treated and released after the shooting.

Lawyers for the Eady brothers, in closing arguments in the jury-waived trial in front of Judge Tina S. Page, said McCarthy was panicked and shot Jordan Eady through a glass storm door. They contend no one was trying to break into McCarthy's home.

Both Anthony C. Bonavita, lawyer for Jordan Eady, and Joe A. Smith III, lawyer for Jovan Eady, argued McCarthy staged the scene to make it look like Jordan Eady broke down the Forest Park home's door and got inside.

Smith said the Eady brothers' car was stuck in the snow and they were looking for help.

Both Eady brothers are on trial for four charges: unarmed burglary and assault, malicious damage of property over $250, wanton destruction of property over $250 and threatening to commit a crime.

Page dismissed two charges against Jovan Eady -- threat to commit a crime and malicious damage to property -- because there was not enough evidence presented by the prosecution.

Page took the case under advisement and said lawyers will be contacted when she has a decision. She said there are a lot of photos in evidence and she needs to look at them very carefully.

Assistant District Attorney Robert A. Schmidt said "Mr. McCarthy didn't create the situation." He said there would not have been time to stage any scene as the defense suggested.

Schmidt said McCarthy acted "as calmly and intelligently as he could" while fearing for his own life and the life of his 3-year-old daughter.

"This isn't someone who's going to -- oops -- shoot someone through a door," Schmidt said.

He said Jordan Eady kicked in the main door, came into the house and assaulted McCarthy. McCarthy testified Jordan Eady lunged at him. McCarthy testified Jordan Eady ran through the glass storm door to get out after McCarthy shot him.

Evidence introduced at the trial showed Jordan Eady's blood was at a spot about three feet inside the house. Schmidt said that proves Jordan Eady broke in the home.

The defense lawyers said the blood was there because Jordan Eady fell through the glass storm door after being shot through that door while he was outside.

McCarthy testified he heard one of the brothers threaten to "light it up." He said he didn't know what that meant but figured it wasn't good.

The defense lawyers said McCarthy did not include that threat in his initial police statement. They said he made up that statement in a further effort to justify his shooting of Jordan Eady.
