BART Shooting Update

I suppose everyone has already heard that the former BART Officer was arrested in Douglas County, Nevada. As a well-placed source said, "well when they say they arrested someone in a given county, you get the idea that it's rural." Apparently, this is around the area of South Lake Tahoe. At first, I was puzzled why the officer would go to Nevada, but I guess the location sort of explains it.

More importantly, I couldn't help but notice the murder charge. I'm pretty sure no judge with a pulse will throw out the charge sua sponte. That only leaves the jury.
