Why the strawman? Are you dumb or a propagandist?In order to prove murder, the prosecutor had to prove some intent
In this case, you had a guy finding a gun not bringing it to the site
He fired one shot that ricocheted and hit the woman
Hard to prove he intended to kill her
He committed manslaughter and should do hard time.
Anecdotal: A few years ago, a jewelry store owner chased robbers outside his store with his handgun, in my town. This occurred late morning in a downtown mid-side city. He fired several shots at the robbers as they sped away in their car. He hit no one. He was arrested, charged, prosecuted, and convicted. He didn't do hard time but paid a large fine, lost his right to own a gun, and is a convicted felon.
