I will not argue that emptying the magazine into a downed assailant is not exactly PC, but 1st degree murder? There is a big difference between waking up and telling yourself "I'm going to shoot someone today" and reacting (in this case OVER reacting) to someone pointing a gun at you in an attempted robbery. I think what he did was wrong but I don't think 1st degree was the proper finding.
Opinions?
