I sat on a coroner's jury a few years ago here in Dupage county, and if I remember our instructions correctly the doctor made the right judgement. For example, a mugger sticks a gun in the face of an overweight individual, the individual dies of a heart attack, is this Homicide or Natural causes? Of course it is a homicide because the death was caused by outside forces. Is the mugger convicted of murder, possibly, although that is a separate legal judgement.

You received correct jury instructions on the definition of homicide and it is obvious you did understand them

The problem is that p-marlowe is one of those people who thinks that the police are a privileged class to whom the law should not apply as it does to the rest of us
