The police are the ones who get all of the info and then make a decision from there.
Everyone makes their own assumptions of what happened with what info they have heard or thought what happened.

And then they go to court and it's the justice system that hands down the sentence, rather than the police. Of which the police are the first ones to be blamed when someone gets a sentence they don't agree with.

I'm not sure what the circumstances of each event was, but Mears shot someone whilst spotlighting without permission and then shot a teacher brushing her teeth. Everything in that incident was wrong and when you take that into account, manslaughter would be appropriate because he took no care in identifying his target and was shooting when he was not allowed to.

Yet the other one, was a hunter who shot a person who was hunting in the same area. Like I said in another post, people believe that what they shot at was a deer. Even though it was a person. Much the same as trains on tracks.

There is always much more to the story and incident which we may never know or hear. Hence why their decisions of charges seem strange in some people opinions.
