Default Re: A guy I knew semi-well, who is a movie star, murdered a cop.

IN the news story, it said that Brancato was unarmed, so does that mean that if/when he recovers that he will be charged with a cop killing, or will he be just charged with teh breaking&entering

Barring some truly unusual decision by the DA, he'll be charged with murder under the "felony murder" law. Essentially, if somebody dies while you're committing a felony, even if you didn't directly kill them, you're guilty of murder.
