fairly obvious. Interesting they didn't cut to a wide shot of him dropping into water. London Bridge leap far more dramatic than hanging or shooting self.

In those days he would have been hanged even if it was an accident. They'd be especially unsympathetic to a person of color.

Technically it was self-defense, but he fled the scene instead of calling an ambulance.

Self-defense? I'm thinking more like involuntary manslaughter.

Not murder in any case.

Not sure what they would have called it back then, in England.

the term manslaughter dates back to the 7th Century BC
