In their ruling, the justices said that for a third-degree murder charge, also known as “depraved-mind murder”, the person’s mental state must show a “generalised indifference to human life, which cannot exist when the defendant’s conduct is directed with particularity at the person who is killed”.
This seems like a runaround saying it should have been 2nd degree murder than than 3rd degree.
I assume the next step is we'll find out the female officer who shot the guy when she "meant to reach for her taser" gets just probation or time served or something.
