Poor dude was not hip on how to legally beat your wife's rapist to death.
If I ever have an Immigrant Aid Society it will be to teach people that what is obvious in your home country (beating your wife's attacker to death) needs to be dealt with different here, especially in New York.
He should have said while beating "HE'S GOT A GUN! DROP IT! *thwack* DROP IT! *thwack* etc. etc until death.
That way he could say "He had a gun and would not drop it" to the cops and then the cops would search for the gun and not find it and wonder, perhaps, if someone had stolen it from the crime scene and witnesses could confirm he indeed thought the guy who ripped his wife's clothes off after forcing himself into their apartment and beating her with a chair had a gun and would not drop it.
Instead he thought he could tell the truth because he was morally right, but nope. You gotta be legally right in the US and especially in NYC when it comes to defending yourself.
