Was it first degree? All I heard was muder. In Ohio "aggravated murder" is what many people think of as first degree murder. "Felony murder" would be second degree. And just plain "murder" is considered second degree but carries a lesser maximum penalty. So it all depends on how they worded it.
Regardless of how they charge him, DuBose should not be dead. The cop should pay for his actions.
Well, the heads were talking after the announcement/press conference, and had mentioned it was first degree, so I am going on what they said. Deters called it purposeful murder and intentional. “This kind of thing happens in Afghanistan, but not here.” (Paraphrased).
