You would think they could have at least stated it as justifiable homicide. 😋
Coroners only report on manner and cause of death.
Deciding whether or not a homicide is justifiable is done by a jury or in the case of a police shooting the investigative body tasked with that job.
I suppose whether it is justified or not is determined by a police investigation or court. Or - in the case of that TV show “Justified” - by the U.S. Marshal himself. (Loved that show!)
