“If you ask me, this is a disgusting breach of “innocent until proven guilty.” Roeder had to prove his innocence in this case, and this case shouldn’t have been confined to the state either.”

He entered a room with his target known. He pointed a loaded firearm at that target and pulled the trigger. I would have convicted him as well.

Exactly. Every assassin in history has felt their action to be morally justified.

That is too bad.

Actually Roeder acted in order to prevent the death of another child.

He stood up for the innocents...most others stand by him in theory but do not have the moral clarity and courage to defy sinful and immoral laws.
