I don&#039;t have a solid understanding of the family dynamics at the time, but in general, it is my understanding that the head of household could kill members of the family, as necessary. By today&#039;s measure this is ridiculous but I think it is unreasonable to apply a standard that didn&#039;t exist when judging the past.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
