All the "legal" stuff aside there is something fundamentally wrong where a civilian can carry a gun around, stock another civilian that he suspects of a crime, and end up killing him, and get off free. Whether the jury got it right or not under "the law" doesn't change that. The law is obviously a load of garbage. There was no justice here, in the real sense of the term.
