[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1382547, member: 423"] I know what homicide is. In my view, it's a subtle but important difference. If they never charge you, you ARE NOT guilty of homicide. You may well have committed homicide, but you were not convicted by a court of law as guilty of homicide. You're not "guilty" of anything. You're not "guilty" of justified homicide unless they prosecute you for murder, you plead self defense, and it's ruled justified. Even then, you will be (if justified) found "not guilty" of murder (in whatever degree). Unless you're using the word "guilty" to mean that yes you did do that act, but as this is the legal section, you are not guilty unless charged and convicted of said act. I see this as a similar difference between the Constitution "granting" us rights, or recognize and protecting preexisting rights. [/QUOTE]
