It's an unfortunately common occurrence, which he is clearly responsible for regardless of his intent, but the argument seems incidental, especially in light of the fact that it was already being treated as a homicide.

The police and DA were pushing for manslaughter but the randomly selected people on the grand jury decided there wasn't enough evidence even for that reduced charge.

Or are you suggesting they all happened to be trump supporters and conspired to protect this guy because they found out he was "one of the good ones"?

I don't know, maybe I am stupid, but that sounds far fetched.
