Whenever these guys get charged, don't be fooled by the prosecution pushing for tough penalties.
OFTEN TIMES...these tough charges like Murder 1 are VERY hard to prove and come with a higher bar of evidence and more stringent rules.
The gig is that if you don't meet that standard, then people get off and they walk scot-free.
Its happened ALL the time.
The prosecution never goes for the weaker, easier to prove charge.
Don't be fooled by the title of the tougher penalty when you read about some of these cops facing charges.
