I do not think murder was on Zim's mind, but what happened was certainly his fault, as his actions provoked everything which followed and I do not accept that he fired in self-defense as a result. The state should have gone for manslaughter, because that's what really happened.
Because following somebody and confronting them is what provokes murder, but not physically attacking someone.
