Are you sill a good guy? Or a murdering bastard? 2 kids are dead and it is quite obvious that his drunk ass did it. I think it makes him a murdering bastard. Can't say what it makes the dad, Hero? Asshole? Murdering Bastard?One is a proven murderer, the other is an alleged murderer.
I'd be curious about the details of the case. What time was it when the incident occurred? It mentions it's an unlit country road... implying that the drunk driver might not have seen the kids/truck even if sober. If it was dark enough that the driver wouldn't have seen the kids, how is it light enough that the witness saw the dad go back to his house 100 yards away?
The empty holster and the bystanders not saying who shot the dude seems incriminating. How you don't have one rubbernecker running out to see the drama or help that says who shot the dude is suspicious. Not sure they'll have enough evidence to convict, but it sounds like papa shot the dude. Morally I would ask... was this 2am? Was the dad being irresponsible for having his kids push a truck down an unlit road? Could he tell the guy was drunk when(if) he shot him? Would he have shot anyone that accidentally killed his kids, even if they were sober? Dunno.
