I would be in jail too. 
The drunk had just killed the father's kids. I don't see how a jury could find him guilty of anything other than temp insanity due to trauma of seeing his boys killed right in front of him. Hopefully, he will get nothing more than probation and community service. He doesn't deserve to go to jail....
Concur. In a perfect world, but since we're not in one.
I'm usually loathe to play the tit-for-tat bit, but when it comes to family, especially kids, all bets are off.
