    A lawyer was given a gun used to kill a man by the judge after the shooter was acquitted based on the testimony of the local sheriff that the man was no good and deserved to die.

I have tried to parse that sentence a few times and I can't. Did the judge kill the man or give the gun? Who was the shooter? Was the man who was killed the shooter? The shooter was acquitted based on the sheriff's testimony that he was no good and deserved to die? It's probably just me. I'll watch the video later - I'm sure it will explain.
