YEah, to me, it sounds more than manslaughter, less than murder in the first degree. I’m thinking second degree. It’s murder, it’s wrongful death, but probably not intentional. Just careless, negligent, and worthy of about 25 years.
Voluntary manslaughter.
I don't think it's possible to find the cops to possess an indifference to life, sufficient to obtain a conviction for 2nd degree murder.
I think they are also financially liable in civil court for wrongful death. I don't know if the county indemnifies for criminal actions. It might pay off even if they are found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
