Fine, you concern yourself with the semantic difference between murder and homicide...it is what’s important after all.
But my dear wtc911, it is what’s important, when determining guilt or innocence. Or in this case, when speculating on guilt or innocence without all the available facts. You would probably pay a lawyer a pretty penny to argue semantics if it meant you being acquitted or doing time. And you would want what your attorney says to be weighed seriously. So when you are trying to present a persuasive case to validate your opinion, you look a lot less like a petulant child and more like a knowledgable advocate when you use the correct terminology as you present your case.
