manslaughter??
no, that was intentional murder…
It’s a much higher legal burden to get a murder convictions though. Proving things like intentional malice is very tricky, especially if the prosecutor knows they’re likely to face an all white jury in rural Florida.
duly noted
1000 percent! 25 years is a slap on the wrist!
well, it’s still life since she’s 60 years old….
but, if you shoot someone through your door for banging on the door and yelling, that’s definitely trying to kill them.
One black life worth 25 years is inflated in Trump’s America
