Anyone else would be charged with first degree murder.
It will be interesting to see what they do with this case.
It doesn’t sound like this cop thought things through very well to say the least.
When it comes to our daughters we can get kind of nuts, but what did he expect when he threw her out on her ass which predictably lead to her stay in a homeless shelter?
Unless there’s something else to this story I’d say this guy needs to go to prison for a long while.
Sadly it’s just another cop who isn’t stable enough to have that job.
And you would think at least one cool head would intervene before things got that bad.
Very sad story.
If you follow the links to the local news story the shooter was arrested on 1st degree murder and the wife was arrested as accessory to 1st degree murder. I believe they are both still in jail as the wife has hidden the car and weapon used in the crime.
The only thing he he has to think through is that he has to remember to say to the first person on the scene, "I felt threatened." I am sure he knew that and felt entirely secure in shooting the boyfriend. Maybe he was worn out from overwork and just wanted a paid vacation.
He was charged with 1st degree murder.
