Proving murder was going to be tough. Negligent homicide, well, he admitted to it.

I think this proves that no matter how hot she is, there's a guy somewhere who's tired of her 5hit.

He may not be guilty in a court of law but he is just as innocent as OJ.

I'm not so sure that's the focus of this story.

I think it has more to do with him shooting her to death. Because he's a wack job.

Prosecution over reached should have been a manslaughter type charge....

Four bullets through the bathroom door? I'd say he's about as innocent as Tony Montana.

Well he ONLY shot one person in cold blood, not stabbing and killing two people with a knife.

He is still going to jail. Just not as long as pre-meditated.

Indeed. He wasn't proven innocent. He was merely acquitted of pre-meditated murder. In her closing statements today the judge clearly hinted at culpable homicide (manslaughter) as being the outcome tomorrow. This is still s very serious charge that could see him face 10-15 years.
