        What the f**k!!??
        \_ Shooting the robber and leaving him on the floor unconscious was
           obviously self-defense.  Calmly returning to the store afterwards
           and shooting the unconscious robber on the floor five more times,
           killing him?  That sounds like murder to me.
           \_ What's it like being a trustafarian/armchair lawyer?
           \_ One day your net will go down, and you'll have to leave your
              gated community.
           \_ First-degree murder is for killings that are premeditated, which
              shouldn't be applied to killing out of rage when one was
              ROBBED AT GUNPOINT.  Do you think the robberer would be
              convicted of first-degree murder if it was him shooting the
              pharmacist dead after the pharmacist pointed a gun at him but
              was shot and fell first?  I don't think so.  --- OP
        \_ This is pretty sad because I'd expect this bullcrap from CA not
           OK.
        \_ The case below further illustrates that the pharmacist in the case
           above did the right thing:
