You really want to know what kind of man he was? I'll tell you. he was a loud mouthed bigot who went around proclaiming he was this huge Chirstian, making a show of himself and ruling his family of 4 daughters and his wife with an iron fist all while sneering down his nose at everyone else. But yeah, that was the first thing I asked myself too because , well, who does that?

And you're right, that's pretty much what the law is, a lot of technicalities. :)
