[@strategicintelligenceanaly9778]

Your comment on the legal matter sounds inaccurate. You say he was charged with the death of the officer because he had intentions of killing the officer. Most states have laws that hold criminals responsible for any deaths that occur during the commission of a crime regardless of the criminal intent to kill or lack thereof. These laws even cover the deaths of accomplice criminals killed by the police during criminal activities. If the criminal gets into a car accident that accidentally kills his accomplice he will be charged with murder. This is the more likely legal status as to why he was charged with murder.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

@@strategicintelligenceanaly9778 Right, I agree with you but he was trying to kill the officers in order to get away regardless. Plus, I went by how the articles interrupted that law.

I wish we would do that in Canada. I love that idea a lot. We here on Vancouver island bc Canada we had a terrible death where a woman cop jsuf came back from having a baby and some drunk was speeding and ran into her and she was killed.

Why would the suspect they were pursuing get the death penalty, as the other officer's bullet was the one causing the fatality? Vengeance/bloodthirst is not how the justice system works here in America. Also, there is no capital punishment for an "accident" as you stated. Good grief.

how do you "accidentally" shoot someone who is sitting beside you in th same car?

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Mainly because the suspect was on the driver's side window shooting into the patrol car. Jonathan was in the drivers seat. His partner shot toward the suspect which Jonathan was in the line of fire. Hope that makes sense

[@DizzLexic]

@@InfamousCrimeLocations Indeed it makes a little more sense now, yes. I just find it so odd as part of basic training is you don't fire if you are being shielded by another person.
