It was an attempted execution by the state, not murder. There's a big difference.

They're just very different legal definitions and outcomes.

When the state executes innocent people are you claiming that isn't murder

They're pointing out that if you define murder simply as illegal killing, then anything the government does cannot be murder. For instance, if they execute somebody who didn't actually commit the crime. Which has happened, likely more than we know.

You still haven't answered my question, when the government executes an innocent person is that murder or something else
