Because in reality MN just has wacky laws, their second degree murder charge can be entirely unintentional, which is what his most serious charge was. At first I thought the defense was trash if they somehow couldn’t defend against the idea that he intentionally killed the guy with an audience, then I looked up the law and was quite confused because that is not “murder” at all, just like how they changed the meaning of “marriage” in many places, it’s not really murder or marriage, they just stole the word.
I still don't get it. Unintentional murder is 1. Felony murder and 2. Bodily harm against a person who has a restraining order against you. This is the law I'm reading.

So they got this pig on basically felony murder? For what? Was the felony manslaughter?
Yes. So according to this precedent, all manslaughter is now felony murder too.
yeah you’re right, I mistook that protection order thing to be related to anyone in police custody but yeah he’s got a clear path to appeal this
So now that I looked over this even closer yeah it seems like because of 2.1 the felony charges for either of the other two charges made this immediately fall under 2 degree murder according to MN law, anything over 1 year of jail time is a felony in MN!
His defense was trash
Overweight gross looking guy that rambled
