Let's see how your take stacks up to his take on the charge.

The charge of 2nd degree was never a mystery to any of us. I, earlier in the thread alluded to this as well. The bar was set to high for that specific charge perhaps, but does this, in and of itself, justify the shooting? No it does not. A lesser charge would have been the prudent thing in many folks eyes, but this has not occured. Are there other recourses during jury instructions? I have no clue....is it 2nd degree or he walks? Again, no clue. If they hang, can they retry on lesser charge? Again, no clue. It was an avoidable death imo, regardless of if I felt he deserved to die or not.
