[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And, again, with due respect to the father, he's not the medical examiner. He doesn't know that it was "execution style."[/quote]
"An execution-style murder, also known as Chicago-style murder and execution-style killing, is an act of criminal murder where the perpetrator kills at close range a conscious victim who is under the complete physical control of the assailant and who has been left with no course of resistance or escape. Execution style killing is most often a shot to the head, and victims sometimes are killed kneeling."[/quote]

Right, and the father is not in a position to know whether that fact pattern you just described covers the horrific incident last night. Nor is Jeff. He wasn't there, because if he had been, he'd be dead now. The police certainly wouldn't tell him those details either. He was speaking hyperbolically.

And yes, it matters. Because if it were actual execution-style, that infers torture and deliberation rather than flying off the handle and shooting one of them as part of a long-running spat (whether or not his disgust for their religion is relevant) and then deciding to shoot the others too because they were there. So, yes, this is an important detail.

No one in authority has described this as "execution-style" or said anyone was shot at "point-blank range." [/quote]
No it doesn't mean they were tortured. It means they were not resisting him and he shot them in the head. He was probably close to them since he shot them in their apartment. Even if they were asleep it would have been an execution, imho.[/quote]

No, "Execution-style" has a very specific mean, as described by a pp. There's ZERO evidence that happened.[/quote]

"Execution-style" has whatever meaning the user intends when they say it.  There is no legal definition.  That said, the father reported that three people were shot in the head, "execution style".  [/quote]
