http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/crime/2014/08/27/dad-acquitted-in-killing-dui-driver/14702181/A dad here in Houston was acquitted of murder recently. He and the family were driving home when the car broke down. His 11 and 12 year old sons got out to help him push the car the last little bit to their house which was not too far down the road on the other side of some woods. A drunk driver rear ended them, killing both boys, one of whom was cut completely in two at the waist.
By the time the police arrived, the drunk driver had been shot and killed. The dad claimed he was innocent, and gunshot residue tests on his hands were negative. Never found the murder weapon. Dad alleged some other dude did it. Witnesses in the car (also drunk) claim the dad did it - ran home, got a gun, ran back and shot the drunk guy in cold blood.
Drunk driver was a serial DUI offender as well.
Dad was arrested and charged with murder. Prosecution had purely circumstantial case since no gun was found and the GSR test was negative. Jury took no time at all to acquit, citing major reasonable doubt.
What say you all?
I say God works in mysterious ways.
