That looks too much like the cops set Doucet up. Note the accompanying detective eyeball Plauche.

It is horrible what Doucet did to Plaunche's son, Jody, who later wrote a book on the whole crime revenge drama. And though I might even defend Plaunche's actions after having read a little of what took place, the fact that you've got the police operating in a conspiracy against your life is as bad as it gets. Gary Plaunche murdered Doucet on March 16, 1984, for Doucet's sick molestation of Gary's son, Jody. Wikipedia summarizes it,
Plauché, a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was separated from his wife, June, at the time of the shooting. During 1983 and 1984, his 11-year-old son Jody was taking karate lessons with an instructor, 25-year-old Jeffrey Doucet. Unbeknownst to Jody's parents, Doucet had been sexually abusing the boy for at least a year. On February 14, 1984, Doucet kidnapped Jody and took him to a motel in Anaheim, California, where he sexually assaulted and molested him. Jody, the focus of a nationwide search, was eventually found after Doucet allowed the boy to place a collect call to his mother from the motel. California police raided the motel and arrested Doucet without incident.
On March 1, 1984, Jody was returned to his family in Louisiana. In an interview with a news television crew, Gary, having heard reports that Doucet had sexually assaulted his son, stated that he felt a sense of helplessness.
