OK, was watching baseball and also reading the news account.
My original post was intended to only raise questions and possibilities.

If Ortiz was in uniform, it could have been a suicide by cop scenario but let’s not speculate. Pointing a weapon at any uniform whether it is suicide or not is reckless and could have predictable results.

However, it appears the jury found as you suggest, that there was no evidence to conclude Zerby intended to point the “firearm” at any human. I.e., that there was no evidence to support the first shooter’s belief he was about to save another officer’s life.

It would be intesting to be able to review the evidence presented to the jury.

Exactly.
