This seems to correspond to another report which said that Gray died from a head or neck wound, the shape of which corresponded to an exposed bolt in the van.
Reading between the lines, it sounds to me that the DA is blaming the police for failing to restrain Gray properly. This would be more a case of negligence, not "homicide!," the word the DA used to lead off her press conference.
No matter how this plays out....the mob wants a guilty verdict and will not be satisfied with anything less then what they want. So far the authorities have given them that.....Now it will play out the summer and give the black community center stage....which is what this is about.
This will also, and more importantly be the talking points for the Demorats.....the black vote was slipping....now they can talk and talk and talk about what they’re going to do for the black community...feeding their ears with the same empty promises they always make...
"Homicide" simply means the death of a person. It doesn't mean murder or manslaughter.
I think maybe you meant to say "murder" -- not homicide, because homicide is simply the killing of a human being, whether intentional or unintentional, and whether justified or unjustified.
Those terms are not exclusive. At least here in California involuntary manslaughter includes gross and indifferent negligence. For example if someone fails to restrain their pitbulls and they kill someone, the owner can be charged with manslaughter.
