    If they went with justifiable homicide they could have gotten an easy conviction. Instead they went with terrorism and Murder 1, both of which there is too much sympathy for.

        No, but they sometimes undercharge as manslaughter, negligent discharge of a firearm, or assault.

        Yes, basically it’s what they evaluate for a self-defense homicide or homicide in the defense of another person, such as if you shoot someone who is raping or murdering another person, for example.
