Michael's fitness as a father isn't at issue and even if it was, having committed a homicide is not a basis for not having the right to raise your child or make decisions about them. It was longer ago than Nina's crimes, he was barely 18, and it was acknowledged to have been in defense of his mother and baby sister even though the judge still went with manslaughter to punish everyone around Michael (which was, legally speaking, BS).
But since Scott stupidly decided to go there, this is how I would love for it to go.
Scott: Tell me about you an Claudia Zucchara.
Michael: Claudia Zucchara was a emotionally unbalanced daughter of a rival (mob boss) to my father's business whom my father, in his infinite good judgment about women and their sanity/fitness around children, decided to bed then marry when he knocked her up... oh, and as it turns out she was responsible for me getting shot in the head and ending up in a coma for a year while I was still a child. I assume you mean that Claudia Zucchara.
Scott: Well yes, but I was talking about how she died. How you murdered her.
Michael: Murder? Interesting. What I recall is that my so call father, again showing excellent understanding of how unbalanced women work, decided to expose Claudia as the person responsible for my being shot in the middle of what was supposed to be a celebration. Claudia reacted by taking my pregnant mother, who was there merely to be hostage. My Mother gave birth in a remote cabin while being held hostage by Claudia and when I arrived, my mother was on the floor bleeding and Claudia, who herself had recently miscarried, was about to kidnap my sister. I hit her to stop her. And she died.
Scott: Well you make it all sound so innocent... why did you go to jail?
Michael: Well, based on what the judge at the time said on the record, he acknowledge that what I did might have been necessary but that my parents, my father in particular, had tried to hide what happened and showed such contempt for the legal process that he was throwing the book at me.... Once again, thanks dad.
