  1. "second degree murder"
    What a joke! If you shoot someone in the back, this is by definition 1st degree murder!

  2. I need the full story. What part of his back was shot, far left, far right, dead center, upper, lower…? Maybe the man quickly turned to grab a knife or a gun? I dunno. I’ve seen plenty ppl turn on a dime.

  3. If this was a man that shot his wife in the back two times and claimed self defense he would of been in the electric chair right now.
