Re: 80-Year-Old Extremely Pleased About Killing Pregnant Woman Fleeing Botched Robber
Zimmerman, though he contributed to his predicament (how much is debatable) was being actively attacked when he killed Martin. The other guy, judging from his words, executed the woman. I think there are too many subjective factors to determine who was worse.
In the end, I think both Zimmerman and this guy were over charged. Rather than Second Degree Murder, the appropriate charges seem to be Criminally Negligent Homicide (Zimmerman) and Manslaughter (California guy).
In the case of the California shooter, the judge can then use the totality of the circumstances when assigning a penalty- the man had just been beaten and robbed vs "How deliberate was the execution"?
still seems a lot worse then what this guy did espshsily considering that the police told Zimmerman to back off before he initiated his confrontation
