I mean, it makes sense, sort of. Holy water is supposed to deal with ghosts, and lead has no such properties. My best guess, from my limited understanding of ghosts, is to punch them. They're only spirits, and you've got a spirit in you, too- but their spirit is flimsy, floating on the breeze with nothing to support it, like a thin, sheer cloth blowing in the wind, while you have a body supporting yours, like a sturdy wooden kite. You could probably punch a hole straight through them if you tried.

Those are set boxes it was the Directors choice having them in the chair 6feet apart probably look more unnatural then just using set boxes that you normally put a sheet on to key or color match something also filling the the 6foot gap with a backdrop set that makes a triangle is more pleasing and gives 3 point for your eyes to fix to the boring stuff in the middle or the two humans talking also straight lines are used more when shooting guys one last thing is there using forced perspective if you look at the back chairs to make Ryan look a bit taller then Shane so it would distract the viewer

as a law student, i can clarify that murder and manslaughter are different. murder would generally be premeditated and intentional, manslaughter is when you clearly take a life but without the intention behind it, making it a slightly lesser charge. both bad, but as he wasn't intending to kill a man but a ghost, it was manslaughter, not murder

@@Notoastleft I don't see how this could be considered as anything else but murder the guy went to shot someone he wasn't startled and it wasn't self-defense he went out to kill the person pretending to be a ghost

[@essie.]

@@Notoastleft I mean if you yell out at a person "What are you? I'm going to shoot you" twice and shoot them after getting no response, that seems pretty premeditated to me. Manslaughter would be if the man was caught up in a shooting between other parties for instance, as there is no intention there. This case was, by definition, murder.

[@CartePostale.]

@@Notoastleft Quite right! I mentioned in my comment that, after talking to a Q.C. friend of my fathers, he pointed out the importance that this case of 1804 had on U.K. law. It set a legal precedent in the U.K., regarding self-defence, ie; whether someone could be held liable for their actions, even if they were the consequence of a mistaken belief! In our family we have always seemed to have one foot in the area of law the other (including my own) in medicine, or a mix of the two. I must admit, the mirth that Shane & Ryan always seem to gain from even recent murders, has always prevented me from subbing, wishing that they could see the horrors of sudden death, especially afflicted by others, in the flesh, so to speak. Also a wish, regardless that murder never comes knocking at their own doors. I wish you all the best in your legal studies.

The man who shot the “ghost” wasn’t the law. Police have a right to protect themselves and others from someone dangerous. Sometimes this goes wrong and they hit someone innocent. That’s touchy because it could’ve been a passive kill (meaning unintentional) or the officer knew what they wanted to do.
