Not surprising with the (lack of) evidence. I still don't agree with his actions though.

What were the circumstances? He clearly was guilty, did the defense argue that he was trying to protect his and his family's safety?
I don't think he should go to prison for life, but he should serve time or at least be punished in some way. Last I checked, it wasn't legal to kill someone simply because they had killed someone.

Court mandated ice bucket challenge.

You say this
But ask this first.
Apparently he was not clearly guilty.
From memory:
He did not have gun residue on his hands.
Did not have enough time to go home get gun, return to scene shoot guy, return home with gun and then return to scene.

He wasn't. He was drunk.

Did the dad administer a field sobriety test or a breathalyzer on the driver before killing him?

Correct. Also, no witnesses at all. There is absolutely nothing putting him even at the scene of the crime much less anything proving he did it.

I haven't kept up but I am not sure this is a case of jury nullification. While the circumstantial evidence seems to be there, from what I understand there was little direct evidence.

Answer the other question. What if the driver's level of intoxication had nothing to do with the accident?

I'm sure if there was overwhelming evidence a jury isn't just going to let him go free.

Yes, we do have trials for a reason - "idiot."
