When Tristan is being told he will have to go to jail, he asks about the policeman who "shot off his gun", assuming he's referring to the one whose bullet killed Isabel. Alfred tells him "Nothing".
Question: I realize this is a movie, but how can Alfred let this happen, his brother goes to jail for 'almost' killing a man, and that (?) man is not punished *at all* for, however unintentionally, killing Tristan's wife?
The policeman was "reprimanded". "Nothing" was the response to Tristan asking about the O'Banions.
shareTristan served 30 days for intentionally attacking a police officer. The policeman's actions were deemed an accident. She was killed by a ricochet.
shareI don't think it was a ricochet. I believe it was intentional, the payback for tristan killing his brother. They don't act surprised or worried when tristan realizes isabel is hurt. Otherwise, what was the point of shooting their guns to the air? I think they wanted it to look like an accident, but one of them really aimed at isabel.

It was a ricochet but under the circumstances it was also manslaughter. He should have been jailed for many years.
