IANAL, but I used to hear stories where if a burglar enters your home through a window and you shoot him as he is crawling in, then you should pull the dead body into the room rather than let it fall back outside. I'm sure this is BS, but maybe in the past, trespassing inside your home is different than trespassing in your yard, so to speak. Maybe there is a shread of truth to this scenario even today. Not that I would avocate lying or tampering with evidence. But honest people get caught up in an imperfect system every day.
