It never happens. Least of all for a murder case.

Does this count as murder? https://www.history.com/news/the-original-wild-west-showdown-bill-hickok-davis-tutt

He got arrested after killing someone and the jury found him not guilty with a lot of witnesses seeing the act.

I don't think something that happened in the 1800s is particularly applicable to the 21st century.

There is precedent.

Something similar happened for a man who killed a Christian Science practitioner for forbidding him from taking his son to the doctor despite getting medical care himself.

Disclaimer: Christian Science is neither science nor Christian. It was basically a clickbait name given to a Quantum Mysticism cult that existed before Quantum Physics was really a thing. Please do not "Skydaddy" it up like a common redditor in response.
