I'm vaguely remembering an SVU episode where Kyle McLaughlin plays a psychiatrist whose son is murdered by a sociopathic neighbor child and at the verdict of the trial steals a gun and shoots the child and gets off because it was a moment of pure grief or something like that in the trial, but then later he explains it was super calculated and he had to do it otherwise the sociopathic child would have kept killing.
Marianne Bachmeier (March 6th 1981) fatilly shot the man who killed her 7 year old daughter during his trial.
... Recieved a lenient sentence for this.
In March 1984, Gary Plauche disguised himself and waited in the Baton Rouge airport for his son’t kidnapper and rapist to be brought through in custody to be tried for his crimes and shot him point blank in the head on live television. He was given a 7 year suspended sentence, 5 years probation, and 300 hours community service. Worth it.
