I wasn't saying Harrison is, or is not, a murderer, and I don't think you have enough evidence to say so either. You're the lawyer, what happened to innocent until proven guilty?
In any case, I'll have to respectfully disagree about the black and white comment, because I don't believe anything is black and white.

My point was two-fold: Killing is not necessarily murder. Never has been, never will be. So, yes, I agree with you to that extent. My point, however, was that murder
is a defined term and
certain types of killings will always be considered murder.
Walking up to someone sitting in a car, pulling a pistol and shooting them when there is no evidence that the individual was acting in self defense constitutes murder. Absolutely. 100%.
Finally, I qualified all my conclusion on "based on the facts known". If different facts arise, perhaps not. Also, I did not say Harrison was guilty of murder - I said "
if the facts show that Harrison instructed or otherwise colluded to have Pop killed, he to is guilty of murder." I should have added a "then" prior to the final phrase.
