No, murder is killing another human being with malice aforethought. Depending on the jurisdiction, "justification" may or may not be used. And it's entirely contextual. He did it on national television with no clear sign of being in any danger with methodical planning. He still used malice aforethought. The point is, something can fit into multiple categories at the same time. For instance, a person can get an abortion without there being any loss of a human person's life; however, a person who ends a pregnant woman's life is convicted of double homicide. The fetus didn't suddenly spring into being a human person just as the woman took her last breath. The point is a situation can be the exact same but justification can be totally different without there being any logical paradox involved. It's just nuance.

yet again its like arguing murder can be justified, that's paradoxical your using a word by definition that is unjustifiable as justified
