Seems more like manslaughter than murder.
Murder.....he was there intentionally, he was armed intentionally and had
trained and expected violence. ALL the elements necessary for a murder
charge are present and if he wasn’t hiding behind a badge murder is
EXACTLY what he woule be charged with. Motivation is not a necessary
issue for a murder charge....WHY he was there DOES NOT MATTER.
What matters is he WAS there, he WAS armed and he WAS expecting
to use violence. MURDER ONE.
That is more my opinion too.
Manslaughter.
No way the man firing through the walls of the trailer meant to hit this woman.
But we have to imagine these officers all suited up in their body armor, being told that they were entering a hostile atmosphere where guns were known to be. Fired up by their leader and looking for a fire fight.
I believe the discharge was accidental, but I also believe that this man had 11 years on the job and should have been better trained.
I see no need for this type of raid when these people would come out sooner or later and arrests could be made.
Well, let's see, using the current logic where criminals can be charged with murder during the commission of a felony (even if said person didn't commit that murder), I see that all the people in the trailer can be charged with this woman's murder, due to the felons/guns/drugs laws, but the cop won't.
