I manuever into position to figure out what is going on. By this time, Mr. "tough guy with a gun" has returned and all I see is him pumping rounds into a person laying on the floor. I am going to unload on him. All I know at this point is I am watching a person being shot who does not appear to be doing anything but laying on the floor.

I am not saying I would play batman and do this, but hearing gunfire, I might decide this qualifies as a reason to put on my cape. I sure would hate to learn that some nut was walking around the wal-greens blasting folks and I did nothing to stop him.

I understand the coroner testified that the first shot did not kill the BG, and that he was killed by the later shots, and if the defense actually made such an argument the jury would have been instructed correctly by the court that if they found that to have been proved, along with the other elements of the crime of murder, it could/should convict the defendant of murder. This has been good law as long as our nation has existed. Furthermore, even if the jury were to find that the deceased would without any doubt have died in a few moments anyway, before the later shots, that would not avoid the murder charge.
