    Murder is murder no matter how much the victim had it coming.

    Edit: as others have told me murder is only applicable after conviction. My post here is wrong and dumb.

      The word murder has a specific meaning in law: The killing of another person without justification or excuse, especially the crime of killing a person with malice aforethought or with recklessness manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life.
