I understand. The first part was a fatal error. The second part was even worse. But I can imagine someone who could make both errors, and still not see it as justice to take his whole life for what was a mistake, and then a mistaken reaction to that mistake. I realize someone died. And if it'd been someone close to me, I might feel different. Maybe I'd want to see what kind of person he is. Or else I just shouldn't be on a jury.

There is premeditation. The hunter knew if he did not call for help the victim would die. Isn't that the difference between between first degree murder and, say, manslaughter?

Well, if I ever get into trouble I'll pray you're on my jury. LOL. Otherwise, no, you don't belong on a jury. Even the worst lawyer can make the vilest of the vile LOOK sympathetic.
