ah the folly of stupidity. do it in pm or elsewhere, you don't even have the brains to follow that simple request yet we are supposed to believe you have knowledge of harder things.
the funny this is that i don't even think you have read my posts, they are written in such a way that if you read them then you will understand them and you will then see that what i am saying is correct, if you truly do have a law degree, then go back and read what i have written and this time understand it, in fact I am not even contradicting your posts as such, but I am pointing out why something would not be classed as murder even though it could be, its not all about getting a murder conviction, its about getting a conviction and if you do not have the evidence for murder then you would go with manslaughter.
this is the difference between reading law and practicing law the harsh reality outside university. you push towards what you can win, there is a huge difference.
many crimes need intent in order for a conviction, in reality you will very rarely get a murder conviction when someone has intended to commit GBH, unless its obvious that the injury is likely to cause death (eg shooting), if you shoot someone you have to expect serious injury, if you stab someone you have to expect serious injury, if you punch someone and break their jaw you are not expecting serious injury so you intentions can be seen to be less.
remember the law is not black and white
