As I understand it, this man will go on trial tomorrow. He is stands accused of shooting a child to death last year, one of the worst crimes I can imagine. If, following trial, he is determined to be a murderer, I will be glad to know that he will not be immediately killed, even though there's little doubt that this man shot the child.
