You can kill someone legally, it's still a homicide. My point is...this means nothing.

June 12, 201511 yr No. He had to from what I gather. There is a law (maybe mentioned in the link) that was used to get in front of this judge if I remember correctly. The judge could be 100% right. I'm just not grasping the point of it. Can the judge compel the prosecutor to prosecute ?

October 12, 201510 yr Police shooting of Tamir Rice 'reasonable,' experts say - CNN.com (CNN)The police shooting death of a 12-year-old Cleveland boy with a pellet gun was reasonable, two experts say in reports prepared for the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor. Tamir Rice was killed by an officer in training outside a Cleveland recreation center in November 2014. The shooting sparked controversy given Tamir's age and the fact that he had a gun that resembled a handgun but fired pellets. It also came as the nation reeled from police-involved shootings of unarmed African-American men. Tamir was black. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty said a grand jury will decide whether Officer Timothy Loehmann and his partner, Frank Garmback, will face charges. The two reports, as well as a third one by the Highway Patrol, were posted on the prosecutor's website Saturday night. "These cases are, by their very nature, different than other matters that come to our office," McGinty said in a written statement. "They demand a higher level of public scrutiny as well as a careful evaluation of the officer's conduct and whether, under law, those actions were reasonable under the circumstances." Read the reports: Report by Colorado prosecutor | Report by former FBI agent | Highway Patrol report S. Lamar Sims, the senior chief deputy district attorney in Denver, wrote one of the reports and concludes Loehmann's decision to shoot Rice as he approached the officers was "objectively reasonable" Looks like the independent findings came from a Denver Prosecutor and one from an FBI agent.
