“Sounds like third degree murder is the right charge.”
Yes he was charged with that too.
but I think there are 2 problems
1) that leaves the other officers with no charge . can you aid and abet an unintended murder?*
2) “evincing a depraved mind” is hard to prove.
*You can certainly argue “ok so don’t charge them ” but I think they deserve to be charged too (if not then that is a hole in the criminal code that should be addressed just standing by when a crime is occurring (intended or not) should not be ok). Or if you are more cynical they had to be charged to placate the mob
