‘We do not expect the officers to wait until they’re fired upon before they feel the necessity to fire’ Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge said of the incident
I looked at Erik Hernandez and only him, and I found out they originally charged him with second-degree murder, and after the whole trial it was the jury that couldn’t decide.
I don’t know how it lead from there to him pleading to manslaughter, but that’s what happened. They charged him with murder (which sounds like the right charge).
Lots of “manslaughter” and “involuntary manslaughter” in there. Firing a weapon hardly seems like “no intent to kill.”
