I'm not sure of anyone else is following this story. It does not take much to put yourself into this man's shoes and wonder if you'd do the same as him...

But, as far as the law is concerned, is murder, murder, regardless of the circumstances surrounding it?

The greater part of me hopes that a degree of compassion is shown in this case. I've stood where he is now and stepped away but I understand that nothing the court can do will make the slightest impact on a man who has the unwavering belief he's done the right thing.

I can only wonder at his state of mind in the weeks leading up to this.

I do hope he gets to go home and live the rest of his days without punishment.
