Not a murder…..but a very justifiable killing!
This happened in Baton Rouge in ‘85, just after I had relocated to Wyoming.
A marshal arts instructor kidnapped one of boy students, took him to California. The instructor was arrested and returned for trial. The boys father had newspaper connections, which had police connections. He knew exactly which flight the prisoner was on, and was waiting in the terminal, pretending to be talking on a pay phone when the prisoner, escorted by two officers walked past. As the prisoner walked behind him, he quickly turned, blew the POS’s brains all over the two officers, quickly put the gun down turned and assumed the position against the wall. All of the local television reporters were there, it was all caught on camera…..and I think was later aired on 60 Minutes!
The father was acquitted of all charges in a Grand Jury hearing!
My good friend’s wife with their kids were in the airport to come to Wyoming….she heard the shot! memtb
