[QUOTE="SPDguns, post: 3093932, member: 17621"] The perp was what we called the "Hamburglar". He was wanted for breaking into several fast food restaurants. The bail bondsman heard he was going to flee to Florida (and he was) so she used a ruse to get him in with the intent of revoking his bond. Anyway the DA failed by not offering a lesser charge of Manslaughter. By definition, First Degree Murder is "with intent and malice aforethought or premeditation" or something like that, with the opinion that "intent and malice aforethought" can be instantaneous. After watching the video, the jury probably couldn't conclude that she had an "intent" to murder him, only that it was in the heat of passion, which would have resulted in a Manslaughter conviction had it been offered. Just the week before, there was a similar trial. The guy was tried twice and the first trial was last summer which resulted in a hung jury on a Murder 1 charge. The second trial was for Murder 1 with an option for Manslaughter 1 and the jury gave him a guilty verdict on the Manslaughter charge. [/QUOTE]
