This whole thing is freaking DUMB. If they spun it and pointed it then fired they need to be charged

Sounds like Polish roulette with a semi-auto firearm.
You go first.

It is murder in my mind. Pointing a loaded weapon at someone and pulling the trigger is murder (unless there is a defensive reason). From the article I read he pulled the trigger THREE times, what did he think was going to happen.
Plus, he and his partner were on duty at his house. So much wrong with all of this. I think they killed her on purpose and are making up this moronic story to try to get off some.

Thankfully juries are required to follow the law, not opinion. Murder is an intentional killing with malice aforethought. Manslaughter is an accidental killing due to extreme negligence or recklessness. Law definitions vary somewhat state to state, but generally follow that train of thought.

And they are scared of regular citizens carrying guns.
"Police Commissioner John W. Hayden Jr. called it an “accidental discharge of the weapon.”
F'n idiot, no part of that event was "accidental"

I wonder if they were shouting "Mow!"

I actually went to a homicide with this exact same scenario but with a horrible cover up. Poor kid.
^^THIS.
Stupid? Yes if it went down as reported.
Unfortunately this is already being tried in the court of public opinion where where there are no rights or rules.

As I read the linked story , Hendren spun the cylinder , and went Click , pointed away from people, Alix then took gun pointed at Hendren, and went Click. Hendren followed suit, pointed at Alix, and went Bang .
Unmentioned in news story , if cylinder spun inbetween each occurence , or if cumulative during the whole exercise .
Before even reading the link, my thought was there had to be copious alcohol involved . But with Hendren & partner being on duty, I'm scratching my head .
As outlined in the link , this would fit textbook case of Manslaughter .

No sorry.....this is not involuntary manslaughter,
This is negligent homocide.....he/they all knew better. But, you know what they say
YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID
Accidental discharge of a firearm is sooo rare that the term should be erased from language.
99.9999999% of these incidents are negligent discharge of a firearm, and should be treated as such.
Homicide is the act of one human killing another. A homicide requires only a volitional act by another person that results in death, and thus a homicide may result from accidental, reckless, or negligent acts even if there is no intent to cause harm.

How did an idiot like that get through the academy? It's not an accident; it's sheer negligence at best.
Ok, i am not trying to split hairs here, but to me, in my humble opinion, manslaughter.....to me, is something like a little old lady, who shouldnt be driving, mashed the gas and thought it was the brake, and ran over someone, negligent homocide, once again....to me, is two cops, BTW, who really really really really should have known better, playing russian roulette with a loaded handgun, and one ends up dead.
Just sayin
Whose pistol is that?
It's not a pistol, it's a revolver.
Whose revolver is that ........
