Malicious intent does have a lot to do with how such a shooting is treated.

Being passive aggressive about making it right usually doesn’t count (though if I were king, it would count).

I understand that it was an accident. I also understand that if an ordinary Citizen had committed the same accident, they would have thrown charge, including for unlawful carnal knowledge against them. The favoritism is what I object to.And yes, I know making restitution does not atone for the offense. But it does indicate a contrite spirit.
