This is actually funny, because from everything we've heard, it was definitely very premeditated; wonder why they didn't go with first-degree murder...
First degree is very hard to prove, and losing a case because you went for first over second degree murder would be embarrassing for any prosecutor.
Based on the footage already made public, I don't see how there could be any doubt about it being 100% premeditated... unless they aren't sure they got the right guy.
He tripped multiple times in short succession while cleaning his gun. Could happen to anyone.
