You mean the guy intended to pull on the gun in a way he would get shot?

If they didn't have the gun because they weren't such cowards and totally inept fools...
Then this wouldn't be a story.

He would have just run away

Homicide in Georgia
Homicide is a broad term that encompasses any killing of another human being unless legally justified. It can include murder or manslaughter, depending on the actions and state of mind of the perpetrator. All homicide crimes are very serious. Therefore, if you have been accused or are a suspect in a homicide investigation, you need the help of Canton, Georgia homicide attorney Jeff Heller to protect your rights during any investigation or trial.

Murder in Georgia
Murder is the most severe homicide crime. While many states divide murder into degrees, Georgia law only recognizes one degree of murder. Any murder in Georgia carries a minimum sentence of life in prison. More severe penalties include life without parole or death. A person commits murder in Georgia when he or she illegally kills another person under any of several circumstances:

  • The person acted intending to kill another.

  • The person acted with depraved disregard for human life. For example, firing a gun into a house or vehicle the person knows to be occupied.

  • The person kills another while committing a felony such as robbery. In this case, the killing need not be intentional.
Murder is a serious crime that police investigate aggressively. If you are suspected of murder, you are taking your life into your hands if you do not contact a criminal law firm in Canton.

Manslaughter in Georgia
Manslaughter is also a serious crime. In Georgia, manslaughter can be either voluntary or involuntary:

  • Voluntary manslaughter – Voluntary manslaughter occurs when a person intentionally kills another while under the influence of a sudden and violent passion. This passion must be caused by a serious provocation that would create such passion in a reasonable person. An example of a sufficient provocation would be a person catching his or her spouse in the act of adultery. Voluntary manslaughter is punishable by one to 20 years in prison.

  • Involuntary manslaughter – Involuntary manslaughter is the unintentional killing of another person. The killing must result from illegal or reckless conduct by the perpetrator. The maximum penalty for involuntary manslaughter is ten years in prison. Involuntary manslaughter may also be a misdemeanor, punishable by less than one year in prison, under certain circumstances.
Although not as severe as murder, manslaughter is still a serious crime. Because the punishment for manslaughter can range anywhere from 20 years in prison to no prison at all, the attorneys in Canton at the law offices of Jeff Heller can have a huge impact on the outcome of your trial
Highlight is mine. Perhaps the two confronting arbery have committed a felony I don't recognize because I'm not a lawyer. That would meet the definition for murder. Otherwise the lawyer describes precedent that depraved disregard for human life meets the criteria.
I assume The latter is what's being put on trial.

What's your point? Just posting the law? That intent was implied? Something else?

EDIT: this was in regarding to post 495.
