Rational thought is easy when you're not in that situation... I'd like to say I'd do the right thing... but I can't say for certain that I wouldn't have shot that motherfucker in the head either...

QFT.

To save my son's life, no doubt I would do anything, even if it meant losing mine.

However, at that point in time, what my son would need is a father, not a convict.

That's great and all, but there's no guarantee that you're getting off with a slap in the wrist when you shoot someone in the face.

I never said there was.

But Paul's "I always answer what a law professor would want me to answer" answer assumes an instant life sentence. That isn't guaranteed either.
