Not guilty on ground of necessity.
Self defense ( he killed me, I killed him back ) and deminished capacity ( coverage denial panic or coverage denial derangement syndrome ) are the first two that come to mind.
Most of the time the courts don't take necessity defenses seriously, even when they are super valid. But sometimes when the defendant is white and has money or prominence, and the victim is not well liked it pops up now and again.
Case in point, when Dan White shot and killed Harvey Milk and George Moscone in 1978.
