I didn't say it should be premeditated murder as that would likely be first degree, but it should have been second degree murder. You don't push someone off a train unless you want to kill them.

The charge isn't just based upon what it looks like to us, it's also based upon what the crown thinks they can a conviction for. It's possible that they didn't think they'd get the conviction if they went ahead with a higher charge.
