Police officer charged with murder under new Washington law

I have a problem with this quite frankly.

"Sarey reached for Nelson’s gun at one point in the struggle, but there was no indication he was armed when Nelson shot him — contrary to statements Nelson made afterward in which he said Sarey had grabbed a utility knife from Nelson’s pocket, prosecutors wrote in charging documents filed in King County Superior Court. Nelson also claimed Sarey was kneeling and in position to attack when he fired the second shot — a claim disproved by video evidence and a witness statement, prosecutors said."

The prosector forgot perjury charges, and maybe obstruction of justice. He also knowingly lied to make the murder seem justified.

It might sound silly to add them in comparison to murser, but if it is plea bargined those extra charges will make it easier to add more time (common tactic by proescuters) and also if it goes to trial and they do not get first degree murder (possible actually, officer could claim heat of the moment) this will add more time to the second degree murder which is a Class A felony.

Unlike murder in the first degree which punishment is a life sentence, second degree murder is a Class A felony, so it can be less than life.
