Similar Situation
Four police officers are approaching a house where the neighbors have called claiming a domestic disturbance. The police knock on the door but there is no answer. They hear a commotion inside, but it's unclear what's going on. The police decide to enter the residence and use a battering ram to force the front door. They enter with guns drawn. A man, in the livingroom, turns to run towards the back room. One officer shouts "gun" and several officers fire. The man is struck by 11 bullets and dies. No gun is found at the scene. The man had just received a promotion at work and was having sex with his wife in the livingroom as celebration.
My predictions:
Several people here will say that the police were justified in shooting the man but that the original guy (who shot his wife's 'rapist') should go to jail.
Several people here will say that the wife should go to jail for manslaughter but that the mistaken police officer should go free.
