What if the wife was lying? Maybe he snapped. If it was that cut and clear dry, why was there a mistrial?
What about the family of the judge that was simply doing his job? What about the court reporter doing hers? What about the sherrif deputy? What about the female officer he shot in the mouth? Where's the sympathy for them who are w/o a doubt innocent? If he snapped, he snapped. He'll also have to deal with the consequences then. If that means he gets shot, just like he shot innocent people this morning, then so be it. HE was the ONLY person that put him in that predicament. Not you, not me, HE did it to himself. Then he needs to deal with it, period. Again, we coddle criminals too much. He's now a criminal if he wasn't before. That shows his intelligence right there. If he wasn't guilty about anything before, he is NOW.

We dont know if some cop there snapped thinking he raped his wife and tried to beat the shit out of the guy in the back cells and he grabbed the gun in self defense and when shit hit the fan, he realized he was screwed. I mean, its not that impossible. A little a while ago in ATL we had a cop who pulled people over beat and killed them and buried them out in the middle of nowhere while he was on duty. None of us know the entire story.
Obviously, you walked into the middle of the story. He was out on BOND and not in some back cell. He was in street clothes because of that. No shackles, no cuffs. He was being escorted into the courtroom by sheriff's because the JUROR'S were scared of him. He happened to be led in just before the jury was called out and the re-trial started.

Again, where's the sympathy for the people he MURDERED in cold blood for no other reason than he was wanting to not go to jail?

That aside, the police cant disreguard the law. If a cop kills him because they feel its justified, he is abusing his position of power. He is an officer, not a judge, not a DA, not a governer. An officer, one who is there to enforce the law, not execute its consequences. Its frustrating, true, but if people were more active in how situations like this were handled before they happened, then maybe it prevent something like this from happening. That is called being a vigiliante. If the law isnt working, work to get it changed so that it does
A judge, DA, nor Governor can execute anyone either. A felony situation requires the arresting officers to do certain things. One of those things is to confront the suspect with guns drawn. This is where if this guy does something stupid, he'll get shot. Considering that he's not tried in the very least to turn himself in, he'll probably do just that. Something stupid.

Again, I have no sympathy for people that dig their own grave. If they are mentally retarded, that's one thing. If they are simply a low life, let them get what they deserve.
