[ETCM]

He did not go there to kill her, no premeditation.

We just went through this with the Guyger trial. Texas does not require premeditation or motive to convict for murder. Just intent. He intended to kill her when he pulled the trigger. In the vast majority of police shootings, the officer can demonstrate that the killing was justified. Not going to be easy in this case.

Texas verbiage aside, most people think of 1st degree murder,2nd, manslaughter, etc.....

in regular jargon, I think of 1st degree murder as someone planning to murder, preparing and then doing it...
