He Was Guilty!
I'm sorry but apart from being a crappy melodrama this films end message is just wrong. There is no excuse for vigilante justice under any circumstances! If the police failed to prosecute or the rapists were let off scott free, Lee killed them, was put on trial, and then declared not guilty I would found it acceptable but the fact is that he killed them before he'd even given legal justice a chance. I would have given him a manslaughter charge but he certainly deserved to made an example of to deter vigilante action.
