I agree. I don’t know what I would do if I was on that jury. We will never know...like you said it could be an accident or it could be 2nd degree murder.
Lets hope that, by some miracle, we do find out the truth. If that cop murdered that kid, he should face the full penalty of law (which I kind of think should be tougher for those put in authority—with great authority comes great responsiblity—we should be able to trust our police to be there FOR us, not to kill us!)
On the other hand, if it was a stupid mistake, while I still think there should be some penalty, I also think actions should be taken to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
