    Who is saying that and where?

    Edit: Never mind, I found it. Note that this is the newspaper’s phrasing. Apparently what the judge actually wrote is more technical and less misleading:

    In his ruling, Judge Simpson wrote that the gunshot fired by Walker “became the proximate, or legal, cause of Taylor’s death.”

      It’s still the same concept. The exciting incident is breaking and entering by the cops. Judge is still stating them entering illegally is not the cause which it is.
