Sympathies to his husband and family.
You appear to have nailed it.

Years of harassment and an eyewitness account that the shooter was yelling homophobic slurs just before killing Ross don't count as 'evidence', I suppose.

Knowing the state of the US government I wouldn't be surprised if the murderer is put up for a Congressional Gold Medal soon.

One bright spot: if he’s convicted, Trump can’t pardon him.

The defense will concoct a "self-defense" argument and the killer will probably not face any serious time.

It's nice to be wrong on occasion:
Quote:HOUSTON (AP) — Investigators are looking into whether the sexual orientation of “King of the Hill” voice actor Jonathan Joss played a role in his shooting death in Texas, authorities said Thursday, walking back a previous statement about the potential motive.
Joss’ husband has claimed the person who killed the actor yelled “violent homophobic slurs” before opening fire outside his home in San Antonio on Sunday night. A day after the shooting, San Antonio police issued a statement saying they had found “no evidence whatsoever to indicate that Mr. Joss’ murder was related to his sexual orientation.”
But during a news conference on Thursday, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the statement was “premature” and that whether Joss’ sexual orientation played a role in the shooting “is part of the investigation.”
“I will own that and simply say again that we simply shouldn’t have done that. It was way too early in the process for any statement of that nature to be issued,” McManus said.

That said, I still don't think it'll see serious prosecution.

^ Sorry, we stepped on our cranks and gave the answer prior to our "investigation".

Enzo Staiola, Italian child actor, best known for his role in the 1948 classic film Bicycle Thieves.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
