Of course by law, you would convict that person, but the moral repugnance of the Austrian's crime is such that honestly, if I were sitting on that jury, I would give his murderer as light a rap as possible. Heck, deep down in my heart, I would thank his murderer for ridding the world of him. You can't tell me that doesn't influence juries in cases like this.
