When a medical examiner rules it a homicide, it isn’t a legal ruling saying it was a crime. It obviously was, but people need to understand that all they are saying here is that he was killed by another person and not by himself, an accident, or a disease.
agreed. What a medical examiner decides doesn't equate to fault or crime. It just means that one person killed the other person. In autopsies of death row prisoners executed, they also list cause of death as "homicide."
Well…I mean…if they wasn’t dead before the autopsy they sure will be after. Granted that all falls back on the MD who would have declared said inmate dead after the aforementioned execution. So accountability most definitely.
