Murder in the First Degree? I don't think so. Certainly what he did was reprehensible, but had I been on that jury I don't think I would have convicted, just based upon what information is available for public consumption. I'd be inclined to say that the guy is guilty of murder, but I think it would be a stretch to call it premeditated, especially when one stops to consider what supposedly "highly trained" cops routinely get away with these days. I would be more inclined to convict were I to start seeing police held to the at least the same minimum standards of conduct but they are not. I've seen too much to be sold the faerie tale that the Rule of Law is intact. (http://www.freedominourtime.blogspot.com/) Consistency cuts both ways.
