To the hi-lited though...I too would like 2nd degree but is it not better to have a slam dunk charge rather than one that he could possibly skate on?

Being they have already successfully convicted a cop on 3rd....and its harder to convict police than an ordinary citizen, I get what they are doing.
Yes, I think so, but not being any sort of expert on the Amercian trial process, couldn't he be charged with second degree murder, then if the judge or jury decide that he is not guilty of that and still convict him of third degree? Or have I just watched too much American television?
