I don't care what the circumstances are! There is no way this guy should be charged on anything less than murder charges. He killed two innocent people and deserves what he got!

Steve,
Just because he killed two people doesn’t make it murder that’s why we have manslaughter in the law book. This act in no way was a murder

Redeye when you get in your corvette speeding down the road intoxicated you know that you can KILL somebody! So yes it is murder! If this was one of your family members you probably wouldn't have the same veiw!!!

If Zarate didn’t commit murder when he shot kate s, there is no way what Brian did can be considered murder.
Whether or not it should be, different story.

I’m no legal beagle, but doesn’t murder require intent and premeditation?
I recall sherif deputy’s wife got to plead to vehicular manslaughter for causing a crash that killed a mother and her son while intoxicated, didn’t she, even with numerous prior DUI and public intoxication convictions and arrests, once while she was out on bail for her crash?
What makes Jones’ motive more deliberate than Malihan’s to warrant a murder charge?
