I would like to know why someone with a criminal record was released without charges. Nothing justifies that, especially in a murder case.

 

Criminal records can't and shouldn't be used to determine when you charge someone with murder. You base that decision on the facts present during that specific situation.

 

Killing someone doesn't automatically mean murder.

 

If McKnight was over the door, then it's going to be difficult to prove that the driver wasn't justified. Don't get me wrong; standing over a door doesn't equate to justified killings.  You have to remember it's the shooter's word versus McKnight's versus the physical evidence. All three shots were expelled from inside the vehicle. If the shooter says that McKnight approached him and threatened to kill him, how do you prove it didn't happen? When McKnight got out of the car, knowingly or otherwise, he provided ammo (no pun intended) for the shooter to claim self-defense. 

 

Nothing justifies releasing it? It happens all the time. Besides, they're probably just going to punt it to the local DA and put it on them to pursue it.
