This might be a proverb

 This might be a case of imperfect self-defense, but definitely not first-degree murder.

 Certain felonies, like robbery, constitute first-degree murder, ... But in this case the third-degree felony is battery -- which is not in the listing of charges -- the beating of Terry King with the bat. For third-degree murder, you only have to show that the defendant intended to commit the battery.

 I'm satisfied with it and I think it's a fair verdict. Clearly, this was not a first-degree murder case. The state could not prove that Mr. McGee committed premeditated murder against Mr. Graham.

 The verdict makes a lot of sense. I didn't think first-degree murder was really an option in this case.

 I don't think that would even apply theoretically, first-degree murder, you know, because you would have to have an intent to do something, and if you just look at the facts, even if you would want to construct something, I don't think you can even construct first-degree murder.

 DNA can't prove intent. You have cases where you already know who did it. The question is, when you take all the facts, what crime is that? First-degree murder? Second-degree? Manslaughter?

 Once I present the case to the jury I totally accept their verdict. I'm at peace with either of the two verdicts that they could have rendered. They really worked hard on this. I don't look at it as a compromise. I think the evidence would have supported either verdict, second-degree murder or not guilty by reason of insanity. That's what juries are for.

 Unfortunately for the defendant, any abuse in this case is a motive for doing what he did. It certainly isn't self-defense. He wasn't currently in a fight with his father. He planned a murder ahead of time and executed it.

 There was never a worry that an all white jury wouldn't do the correct thing on the case, ... It just doesn't matter who the victim is -- murder is murder.

 The boys with their feet on the desks know that the easiest murder case in the world to break is the one somebody tried to get very cute with; the one that really bothers them is the murder somebody only thought of two minutes before he pulled it off.
  Raymond Chandler

 What is outrageous about this case, if this man is telling the truth: This man is a getaway driver for murder. We execute people in this state for that. [But he] hasn't been charged with anything. It shows how desperate the government is in this case. ... This case has languished for 10 years. ... This is their best shot.

 There wasn't enough evidence to meet the elements of murder. But the bottom line is, I had a witness who was standing outside [the apartment building when the incident occurred] trimming some hedges, who owned the condo, who articulated that these four men rushed into the place. Based on what he said and some other information, it came out that it was a self-defense situation. It was going to be either a robbery, an aggravated assault or a murder. [Mane] had a right to defend himself. [The prosecution] couldn't disprove self-defense. The district attorney didn't have a whole lot of choice but to dismiss it.

 There is a big difference between manslaughter and first-degree murder.

 It's not a case about abuse. It's a case about cold-blooded, intentional murder perpetrated by Cody Posey.

 In an imperfect world, we had to make an imperfect choice. I'm not ashamed of it, and I'm not proud of it... We have begun a path that we believe will ultimately benefit our users in China.
