Someone forgot Rule #4

[Tory]

What's that word?

From the latest newspaper coverage on this fiasco:

"Without the tape, there's no telling how long it may have taken investigators to realize Hammes had been murdered, Monroe County Sheriff Pete Quirin said Thursday -- the same day of Hammes' funeral."

For those who missed it: MURDERED

As opposed to the repititious rationalization of it being merely "... a case of negligent homicide."

Perhaps the reported who wrote the story will accompany you when you visit the prosecutor to explain why he filed the wrong charge, then.

Newspapers use the term "murder" with abandon. The fact that a media report characterized it as a murder hardly overrides the fact that the prosecutor filed lesser charges.

the linc at the top of this thread is nonoperational. lets say for argument sake that the shooter legitimately mistook the guy as a squirrel and shot twice. thats a unfortunate accident and the shooter is guilty of reckless endangerment. then the failure to report an accident that he himself was the cause of results in the conspiracy to conseal a crime. since the crime was that he killed someone makes it murder. its only an accident untill you try to get away with it, then its as bad as the lawyers want to make it for you.

bottom line, if you have a accident you report it immediately. it all goes back to intent. the shooters intent went from accident to murder as soon as he failed to call medics. he intended for the guy to die when he left him there, and he caused the injury in the first place. murder as far as i see it.

Definately looks like an accident to me... shot once in the hip and again in the heart, big ass squirrel there. The kid captured his shooter on video earlier, you honestly believe the shooter didnt know he was there...I don't think so, he knew exactly who and where he was shooting.
