Well, he went to trial and wasn't convicted. The wife is the one going 
to prison now, for lying and causing a death. Seems like everything 
worked out about how I would like. I could stand to see the husband 
spend a little less time arrested, in jail, awaiting trial as I'm sure 
he must have been.

Even the gun ownership advocates will tell you that you should 
realistically expect to be arrested if you shoot someone in 
self-defense. Even if it's the proverbial armed robber climbing in the 
kid's bedroom window.
