Would it make any difference if he had bashed the kid's head
in with a bat ? Or slit his throat ? Murder is murder, a crime is a
crime.


Well, it's certainly a lot easier to stand a few feet away from
someone with a shotgun and pull a trigger. In fact, based on what the
husband has said, the murder probably wouldn't have happened if he had
had to take a bat to the kid or "slit his throat" because it was a
snap decision that only took a little squeeze of the trigger and now
he's agonizing over this "decision" that he made.
