re: So is this Jury equivalent to the Jews that let the murderer go free in place of Jesus?

read earlier he claimed it went off inadvertently when he picked it up. Would you agree there would be a difference between that and him purposefully aiming it at the crowd?

Yes I would,but he didn't say that. He admitted to firing it and claimed he was trying to shoot at a seal. Not that it fired by accident.

And if my understanding of the law in California is correct, and the Prosecutor chose to give the jury murder 1 or involuntary manslaughter then that prosecutor is a fricking retard and deserves all of the hatred and blame, and I wouldn't bat an eye if he dies.

The problem is murder 1 requires malice and intent. A good defense attorney can get him out of murder 1. Involuntary manslaughter in California can be taken off the table if the defendant can show "a lack of knowledge or reasonable mistake" however I find it unbelievable that that stupid fricking jury all agreed that firing a gun into a crowded pier is a reasonable mistake or you lack the knowledge that firing a gun into a crowd can kill someone.
