the shooting was a negligent and idiotic and a horrific mistake.....
a horrible mistake.....
some are playing semantics because Texas has a specific verbiage for murder.....
so call it what you want.....it was not a action closely resembling what I would call 1st degree murder in historical and widely used definitions.....
“some are playing semantics because Texas has a specific verbiage for murder.....”
If the shooting occurred in the State of Semantics, you would have a point.
However, these even occurred in the State of Texas.
Here in Texas we don’t care about what you think or our semantics according to you what we do have letters of law and here in my great state we don’t care about degrees of murder as we don’t have them at all we have murder which carries 5 to 99 and we have capital murder which carries life to the death penalty the only difference is depraved mind. Murder is the willful action that causes death of a person period end of story we don’t care if you thought about it for a year or not at all that’s our law don’t live here if you don’t like it. Shooting someone here in Texas by purposely point the gun at them and pulling the trigger is willful by definition and as such the ONLY way anyone cops or not can point and shoot is if it is a justified shooting and wr have legal definition of that as well. This cop now has to prove to a jury without doubt that his shooting was justified or he will get 5 to 99 as required by our laws we don’t care about what others think about degrees or historical precedence we have our laws they are clear and well documented.
This fumduck was incapable of such coolness. What's worse is that there is a STRONG probability that those who worked with him KNEW he was a weak reed, and that there is no process to get rid of him before this woman was shot, because he panicked.
That old Blue Code of Silence hides a lot.
