Well, perhaps something must be allowed for rhetoric. But I don’t think he

would so misuse a legal term when speaking _ex cathedra_ (as an officer of

the court, I mean). Personally, just for the sake of clear thinking, I’d

prefer to see “murder” restricted to its legal scope. The King James Bible

is very sparing with this word–I think there are only 22 occurrences in the

New Testament.
