I believe many if not most people can think of circumstances that would justify murder. I personally believe forcible rape is one such circumstance. If someone raped one of my girls and I could get my hands on him before the police did he would be dead or close to it. And if I were a juror there is no way I would find a father or a husband on trial for such a circumstance guilty of murder.The problem with your scenario is that someone could apply the same line of reasoning in a murder trial where they believed that even though the murder happened it was justified in that juror's mind.
