Laws vary by state, but generally if you fell your life or the lives of any of the occupants of the house are in danger you can use lethal force against the intruder. You are also of course permitted to use any level of force (within reason) to defend yourself against a non-lethal attack. Again laws vary by state, for instance here in CO, if someone breaks into your house, all you must do is order then to stop and if they don't then deadly force is authorized because every citizen has the right to be secure in their own home.

Can you provide some self-defense case examples to illustrate the concept of justifiable use of force in a legal context?

One example of justifiable use of force in self-defense is the case of George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin in 2012. Zimmerman claimed self-defense, stating that he shot Martin in response to being attacked. Another example is the case of Marissa Alexander, who fired a warning shot at her abusive husband in 2010. She argued self-defense, but was initially convicted before her sentence was later overturned. These cases highlight the complexities and nuances of the legal concept of justifiable use of force in self-defense situations.
