If this account is accurate, these officers are guilty of murder in the first degree, and should be subjected to the death penalty.There is no mitigating circumstance in this account.His death seems premeditated, although there is no evidence of it, their conduct indicates it.
Honestly, until a few cops get personally bankrupted or hung in cases like this, nothing will change.
“His death seems premeditated”
Cops in general don’t take kindly to ciitzens carrying weapons.
They were called to the scene. Unless there is some link to the caller I don't see how you can prove premeditation.
It's also hard to believe that three officers would plan together to kill a guy unless they had advance warning of the call, or they just planned to kill the next guy they confronted.
I doubt you can prove premeditation. You will likely also have trouble convicting all three of murder. Some or all of them can claim that they couldn't see clearly and assumed that since the other officers were telling him to drop the gun they made the reasonable assumption that the guy was holding a gun, and when he made a furtive movement, they fired.
If you can't prove murder beyond a reasonable doubt, then you're left trying them on manslaughter.
