It is based on the teaching of Exodus 20: 2 ( second book of theHebrew Bible) "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed; but if it happens after sunrise, he is guilty of bloodshed.

So they don't feel guilty of administering the death penalty of a thief.
