Tara's death is homicide, not murder. There is a legal difference, as far as I know.
They're not legally the same thing? _________________

I just found out that the technical term for Warren's killing of Tara is 'murder in the second degree'. See the example at http://criminal.findlaw.com/crimes/a-z/murder_second_degree.html . And I also found out that homicide is a wider category than murder (murder is a subset of homicide, as is manslaughter: http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cas...s/18/parts/i/chapters/51/toc.html). So I was right about them not being the same legally, but for a wrong reason. I was mixing up manslaughter and homicide. _________________ Listening to you I get the music
