Manslaughter? Isn’t that murder? Manslaughter is when you are not meaning to kill someone. Obviously getting shot in the chest would kill someone.

I thought that "manslaughter" was when there was no "premeditation".But I ain't no lawyer so I surely could be wrong.

The perp didn't kill he cop, the cop's gun did. Everything would have been OK if the cop hadn't had a gun, which should have been banned in the first place. And the perp wouldn't have been in jail anyway were it not for our racist, oppressive society, which didn't give the perp a free house, car, health care, food, and a government job. All is well if you learn to think like a Liberal.

Here in PA I believe that this would have been 2nd degree murder, killing committed during the commission of a felony; escape. Mandatory life sentence.

I'm guessing the prosecution offered him a plea bargain rather than risk taking him in front of a jury of his Boston peers and getting an OJ verdict.
