I was making an interesting point about the difference of opinion between members here of the definition of "straight".
It seems that Flexed1 thinks that if a man is married to a women, then he is straight.... even if he has sex with men or boys. I disagree.
As for your question, I think that I would vote guilty.... because there is no question that he murdered anyone. However, jury's and/or judges usually have a choice over a range of punishment. I would sympathize with the dad, so I would suggest a lower than maximum punishment....... however, in his place, I probably would have done the same thing.
