“No, the intentional was the murders of two men by Joey Smith...”
When people are shooting at you, and you shoot back and kill one or more, that isn’t murder. It’s generally seen as justifiable homicide in a court of law.

That’s how I see it too..
If Joey Smith had not had guns in jail with him...
and if he not murdered those 2 men, he probably would not have got shot by those men shooting back to defend themseves...
The deaths of Joey Smith and Hyrum Smith was just that...
justifiable homicide
BTW Joey Smith was all liquered up...
They had been drinking ...
Joey Smith might have been shooting wildly all over the room...
Easy to shoot your own brother when you have a snoot full...
Brilliant point, if it had not been a gun battle in a jail. Where did Smith get the guns? It is murder if you are in jail and shoot someone (or several and they die).
Using YOUR example of the POLICE in reply number 15...
When POLICE are shooting at you, and you shoot back and kill one or more; that isn’t murder?
It’s generally seen as justifiable homicide in a court of law; and you do BIG time!

Legally it may be self defense, but thank you for showing that it wasn’t really a martyrdom.
Not if you are going as "a lamb to a slaughter," as Joseph Smith proclaimed.
Reminiscent of Jesus himself when he took out the 5 Roman Centurions on the way to the cross...
Oh wait...
