a small man who cowardly fled amid his carnage, before a judge sentenced him to life in prison.

Does a short stature really detract that much further from his character? What if Rudolph were 6'6" and 300 lbs? Would he be even more of a coward for running away?

Nitpicky, I know. But stereotypes on height are one of the last areas into which PC has made any inroads, if any, and can go easily overlooked. And I'm bored.

i think the small is not about size but about irrelevance. Its like TE Lawrence calling arabs a small people even though arabs are quite tall.

I did not see that "small man" as a reference to his height. Is he short?

A small man in this context to me refers more to his total lack of character.
