I think the jury first has to consider self defense. If they find it was justified in self defense but excessive force was used, then they can convict of manslaughter. If they find it was not self defense, then they convict on Second Degree Murder. IMO
Exactly they have this option. They also have the option to convict on 2nd degree if the believe it warranted this and excessive force was used.
I think the medical evidence provided in this regard is key.
I think I have asked this before but not sure does an autopsy give an indication of time of death? I know the ME reports the time of death when stated by the paramedics. Given the fact that neither TM or MM were out of breath on the 911 call is suspicious to me - given this violent fight they had just been in.
All IMO
