Body-Cam Video Of Daniel Shaver Shooting

[MarkCO]

I believe the reason he was acquitted is multi-dimensional.

1. He was over-charged. Actions do not meet the definition of 2nd degree murder. On a lessor charge, he likely would have been convicted.

2. There were multiple procedural mistakes made by other officers.

3. The shooter was not the one issuing the commands, which were confusing.

This was not a lawful shooting, but the blame has to be spread out and the shooter was not charged with the actual crime he committed. That does not make it a legal shoot, but a bigger miscarriage of justice. Now the prosecutor is also complicit in this mess.

This will all get redone in the Civil suit and I will bet anyone a dollar to a donut, the win will be for the plaintiffs.

PS: Manslaughter in Arizona is : "Recklessly causing the death of another person"
