And that's the problem. My property, my job, my children are all more valuable than anyone else's (and I have the right to deprive who ever threatens my stuff of their property, job, children or lives.

“Tony and his family are very sorry by the loss of their child and time will reveal the circumstances surrounding this unfortunate incident which does not constitute a crime,” said Winston Connor II, Rutherford’s attorney.

You're honor, this murderer is not guilty!
