    I’ve seen this a few times recently, and am wondering what authority do US coroners have to decide that a death was “unlawful”? Isn’t their job just determining cause of death, not handing out a verdict?

    …gross negligence manslaughter…

    Called it. The weapon was a Glock. They DO NOT fire unless you pull the trigger. The most generous scenario has him pointing the loaded weapon at her with his finger on the trigger as he “shows it to her”. That is negligent manslaughter and it is the most generous analysis. How this piece of shit avoided being indicted in Texas is crazy and infuriating.

      Well, some consider a greedy, twice-impeached, twice-divorced, adulterous, insurrectionist, 34-count fraudulent felonious rapist, pedophile, con-artist’s honor worthy of defending. Even though he also knowing stole/hid top-secret documents, publicly went on racist tirades, compromised military information, openly invited an opposing country to interfere with our democracy, has blackmailed a friendly country to fraudulently begin investigations into a political opponent, …should have just used a spread operator here.

      Speaks a lot about those people I would say. I wasn’t even surprised to read about this. Saddened, sure, but surprised, not even remotely.

    Acutal: Briton, who was shot by their father in Texas, was unlawfully killed.

    My mind: After some irrelevant context, Trump was unlawfully killed.
