My understanding of the case is that the game wardens were bullies, and and that they used excessive force to the point that Mr. Dallas was left no choice but to defend his own life.
I believe that those facts came out at trial, but that the additional fact that after he defended himself he then made sure that they were dead was what put him in prison.
Dallas was the victim, but he went too far.
There are a lot of law enforcers that are nothing but bullies with badges, and ultimately, when their own illegal behaviour causes bad things to happen, they get what they deserve.
I'm pretty sure that's what happened here.
They got what they deserved, and so did Dallas.
