And the worst thing about this whole case is, even if he gets convicted, he won't prob make it 10 years inside, while the "kid" will still be dead, making any finiancial estimate on how much the whole situation costed the state just mindblowing. As in he died young, 0 long year taxes paid, state pays for the old men prision sentance, maybe legal fee's if he is bankrupt after the whole situation. So in this situation you could say one gun costed the state/government millions of $ and they can barly do anything to stop this kind of situations in the future.
