-never mind the fact that the jury determined it was NOT murder, they will not be denied!
One went so far as to say "what if it was your family member he shot? Wouldn't you want justice?"
This is what is so alarming with today's debating tactics, not the question... the wording of the question like it is based in reality!
'What if', 'Imagine for a moment' and 'Maybe'...all fanciful offerings of mental conceptualisations.
My usual response to such constructs is "Yeah. 'What if'. 'What if' frogs had wings? They wouldn't go along bumping their asses on the ground. But they don't, so they do. 'What if' means jack shit out here in the real world. So, 'what if'?"

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
