[Lemon Drop]

There was no viral citizen video of this one, but enough evidence, including dashcam video, was gathered by honest cops to tell the real story.

Serious question. Does not the label murder imply a rush to judgment?

It's a homicide, that is not in question. The prosecutor believes the evidence supports a felony murder charge and has made that charge.

So no, I don't think that using "killing" to describe what happened is a rush to judgment of any sort. It's a killing even if the officer is found not guilty.

Once again you go off on a strawman, killing was not questioned, the charge of murder was...
