WTF? It doesn't matter what the crime was, that's irrelevant. It was enough to put him behind bars for good, so yeah, probably murder. But it doesn't matter, the song's not about that.
Christ. Uh...there's a subtler version of your point that has some relevancy, but no, I don't think the writer is trying to celebrate criminal activity.

I actually like the song I was just trying to deconstruct it as I thought you wanted. There is more to the song then it just being about a person who murdered someone. No one writes a song celebrating murder (I think). That there is more to the song is for sure, but I don't think I belong to that White demographic to fully enjoy it.
