Yeah, I would have shot him while he was still covered with that little girl's blood. And, no matter what else happened, that little girl and her parents would never have to worry about him coming back. Even though she has blocked out the attack and couldn't identify the guy, he doesn't know that. The threat to that family is very real.

Then I would expect you to stand trial for murder

No "looking the other way" you believe in the death penalty or you don't - it is immoral to take someones life, it is a sin!
