I've only paid sporadic attention to it, but the conduct of the judge in the case certainly seems problematic. Ruling out the gun charge would seem to take away the murder charge. I can't speak for the laws of Wisconsin, but usually when you kill someone while committing another felony, that's automatically murder one. By removing the gun charge - for reasons that seem spurious - the judge makes it easier to acquit.
Frankly, Murder Two or even manslaughter seems most appropriate, but if he's completely acquitted, that basically gives license to any murder-minded fuckwad to insert themselves into any situation, kill someone and then claim self-defense.
