justifiable homicide

After a hearing of all the testimony the court reached a decision of justifiable homicide and English was released.

"I wonder more that you did not kill him," I said; feeling that this would have been a case of 'justifiable homicide.'

Nor was this feeling mitigated by the "justifiable homicide" verdict of the Coroner's jury.

The inquest did not last many minutes, and the jury without hesitation returned a verdict of justifiable homicide.

In the cases of death among the insurgents, the jury found a verdict of "Justifiable homicide."
