It clearly shows he initiated lethal force not in defense of self or others.

What he was trying to do is immaterial. He attacked with a lethal weapon, using lethal force.

If I shoot you in the knee trying to "disable" you, I'm guilty of assault with a deadly weapon.

yes, and that's what he was charged with, not "extralegal murder", and intent matters to murder.

The phrase I used was "extrajudicial execution"; not a named offense but exactly what this was.

i'm a bit familiar with how to think about murder & manslaughter, but not "execution".

I'm not using it as a legal term of art. I mean by it "punishment by death for a crime".

Are you really incapable of seeing I'm using a term AS USED IN ENGLISH or are you being tendentious?

"heft" is perfectly good English word. Debate spacetime w someone using that & your own definition
