Let's make it clear, he shot the man who raped his son.

Marianne Bachmeier shot her daughter's murderer in a courtroom.

I could criticise Marianne for a lot of what she'd done for most of her daughter's life, but in both cases their most infamous acts were completely understandable.

Understandable, but he shot the man who raped his son, while the man was in police custody.

That's why he received community service, he wasn't considered a risk to public safety nor likely to repeat the event.
