Okay, so what about the overcharge? Can you see how he walks if they fail to allow jurors the option to convict on a lesser charge?

I don’t know the law there. Is murder just murder, or are there degrees?

I don’t think Slager planned to kill Scott. I also don’t think it was a “good shoot”.

Good question. Who gets to decide whether to include possible lesser charges, such as involuntary manslaughter? The judge? The prosecutor? The grand jury?
