There are times that the law should just look the other way. This is one of them.

So sad but I think he might be able to plea crime of passion or temporary insanity. Both of which are valid arguments in Texas if I remember right

I suppose the officers who arrested him must be corrupt.

It happened here in CA too, Ellie Nessler killed the guy right inside the courtroom who molested her 6 year old son. As I recall she used a Beretta .25 ACP and smuggled it in (this was before metal detectors were installed).

I cant imagine what that must be like. I have 2 daughters and a son and I dont know if I could control my urges if something similar happened to me.
I am not sympathetic to any ill that befalls a drunk driver. They kill more innocent people than they do themselves, that being said I hope the guy gets off easy as possible.

Very sad set of circumstances.
A jury could find him not guilty be reason of many things. They have latitude.

He will get off with a temporary insanity plea. Who can convict a man who just lost his family? So many times throughout the US people have been found not guilty in such cases. In New Orleans a man killed the murderer of his children on national TV and was found not guilty.
