They committed murder without question, but no way I would convict a parent for doing what any parent would do.

It depends on the charge. The parent could have felt threatened by the perp and the perp had proven himself a threat.

I am not going to get into philosophicals since that's not the point. If you rape or assault my child, I am going to kill you, whether or not I feel you are a threat to me or them at the time I kill you. I believe this is a moral and proper action, and I would not find any parent guilty brought before me as a Juror on such a charge. They may be guilty as sin under the letter of the law, but no way morally I will convict.
