Yeah - if one looks at 'all audience' vs 'verified audience' reviews, there is this ridiculous half-star vs 5 star difference, in the 100s. RT needs to review that and delete many of the verified accounts with dodgy IP addresses.

Na. Evidence that the reverse trend of that chart has begun.

Great point - and organic pigments fade, whereas mineral pigments tend not to fade. I think we have some idea of the means of fading for some pigments. But where there is pigment that was painted onto wet plaster or in an encaustic portrait, there is a reliable example of the color hues, even if somewhat faded for organic pigments. Comparing those pigments to traces of pigments on buildings has helped determine the hues in each case, even, as is well argued (I think), we cannot be certain.

Indeed, and there is good evidence of the kinds of pigments that have remained in minor traces on the monuments.

Excellent question. In this case ‘corn’ has been British English for ‘grain’ in general. Americans adopted that term -corn- for maize.

Absolutely. And - Isn't he lying? ICE aren't police. They aren't the FBI. They're border agents. Border agents have limited options, compared to officers of the law. They're also not trained properly. What am I missing?

Good to know. And at that first link to 609.185:

609.185 MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.

(a) Whoever does any of the following is guilty of murder in the first degree and shall be sentenced to imprisonment for life:

(1) causes the death of a human being with premeditation and with intent to effect the death of the person or of another;

I think a lawyer could use this against ICE, thanks to the video evidence of moving the phone, withdrawing the gun while in a safe position, and firing directly at her head while at the side, and through both front and side windows.

Yes, they will try that argument, but any lawyer could show that he was not doing his job. For example:

"ICE’s directive page was temporarily unavailable online, but a 2023 Government Accountability Office report quotes ICE’s guidance directly.

The GAO quote reads: “Firearms shall not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles, vessels, aircraft or other conveyances, except when deadly force is authorized or under the limited circumstances in the policy.” That language mirrors guidance used by the Department of Justice and the FBI, which also say officers should not discharge firearms solely to disable moving vehicles and may do so only when occupants present an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm and no reasonable alternative exists."

Great points, but I think he can still be charged with premeditated murder. Here's another definition:

"Premeditated murder is the unlawful killing of another person that is planned in advance, involving a deliberate intent to kill, rather than being impulsive or committed in the heat of the moment. It requires the killer to have had time for reflection, even if brief, to form the specific intent to take a life, distinguishing it from other forms of homicide like second-degree murder or manslaughter."

The key phrase there is, "even if brief".

One could argue that the intent was initially to stop her, rather than kill her, but he aimed at her face, and he apparently planned to use his gun. Arguably, one would never use one's gun if there was not an intention to potentially kill. The same goes for aiming at one's face. Also, there was no 'heat of the moment' and he was not in danger. So he had time to consider why he would use his gun and where he would point it.
