Its conclusions are ultimately ambivalent as to whether or not the officer who actually shot him was guilty of a crime, but is quite blunt in admitting that the sergeant yelling out the orders "has no business being a police officer." Did anything at all happen to him? It seems all the attention went to the shooter, but I'm not sure if anything at all happened to the shouter.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I'm from Tennessee, but according to the Arizona code, this is what "murder" means.
Arizona Code
13-1104. Second degree murder; classification
A. A person commits second degree murder if without premeditation:
. . . .
2. Knowing that the person's conduct will cause death or serious physical injury, the person causes the death of another person, including an unborn child[.]

The news doesn't report on incidents where nothing happens and the guys are arrested without incident, so yeah, if you go by the news, then every single police encounter ends up in a police shootout or some mistake. Just like every plane is hijacked or crashes killing everyone on board.
Keep trolling.

13-1104. Second degree murder; classification
A. A person commits second degree murder if without premeditation:
1. The person intentionally causes the death of another person, including an unborn child or, as a result of intentionally causing the death of another person, causes the death of an unborn child; or
2. Knowing that the person's conduct will cause death or serious physical injury, the person causes the death of another person, including an unborn child or, as a result of knowingly causing the death of another person, causes the death of an unborn child; or
3. Under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life, the person recklessly engages in conduct that creates a grave risk of death and thereby causes the death of another person, including an unborn child or, as a result of recklessly causing the death of another person, causes the death of an unborn child.
B. An offense under this section applies to an unborn child in the womb at any stage of its development. A person may not be prosecuted under this section if any of the following applies:
1. The person was performing an abortion for which the consent of the pregnant woman, or a person authorized by law to act on the pregnant woman's behalf, has been obtained or for which the consent was implied or authorized by law.
2. The person was performing medical treatment on the pregnant woman or the pregnant woman's unborn child.
3. The person was the unborn child's mother.
C. Second degree murder is a class 1 felony and is punishable as provided by section 13-705 if the victim is under fifteen years of age or is an unborn child, section 13-706, subsection A or section 13-710.

The key parts are INTENTIONALLY causing the death of another person. Not just "knowingly" - you have to not only know your action will cause the death, but then intentionally do it. And it has to have an element of being unjust or unwarranted. If you are killing someone in self-defense or even presumed self-defense, it is not murder.

Tell me, did your "law license" come with a gumball and clown stickers?
Digging through this resource, I find that state statutes require more than simply an intent to kill to qualify as second degree murder, otherwise, state executioners and people acting in self-defense would be guilty of second degree murder. There must be other factors, such as malice, a depraved indifference to human life, recklessness, if the killing happens during the commission of a crime, if the offender dispenses a dangerous substance that results in another person's death, and so on. Exceptions include self-defense, accidental killing without criminal intent while engaged in a lawful activity, any spontaneous or negligent killings which fall under the category of manslaughter.
How long ago did you get your law license? Maybe you can still get a refund. Might want to check with a lawyer to see what your options are.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

13-404. Justification; self-defense
A. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, a person is justified in threatening or using physical force against another when and to the extent a reasonable person would believe that physical force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful physical force.

Now here's the part of my post that you ignored. Care to take a crack at it, Mr. LOL License?
