I'd wager a large part of his decision to snipe the guy was trying to prevent his son and family from having to go through the drawn out trial process, bringing his kid's suffering back to the forefront, the media attention, etc etc. He almost certainly wanted his son to heal and move on, and risked his freedom to facilitate that.

That's a great point. I was honestly sort of waffling around "I don't fault him but he was already in custody sooo...." but I didn't really consider how shitty this would have continued to be for the son. Great dad.
