This man claims self-defense in nun's death because she reached for her bible. He shot her five times and it seems that he did this for a rancher or group of ranchers. This area of Brazil has been a hotbed of violence over land ownership of rain forest. So there's two sides - ranchers who own land and have to make a living on the one hand. The other side is made up of settlers and rain forest advocates that are demanding land reform. There have been 1000 deaths in the last 10 years!
No matter which side you think is wrong, shooting a nun five times is gonna get you sent to the fiery big house for sure.
What would you sacrifice your life for? Besides my family, I haven't worked myself up to feeling that passionate about anything.

Unless of course, as the shooter, you repent. Right?
Yes, forgiveness being a byproduct of repentance - that reminds me of the movie Dead Man Walking.
