On the one hand you think the guy is guilty of first degree murder. Which honestly doesn't make any sense because why call the friggin cops in the first place.

A person can believe his actions are legal and still be guilty of first degree murder.

You'd have to be an idiot. I really don't think you're right - first degree murder, as I understand it is the opposite of anything that could be believed justifiable.

But I'm not a lawyer. Obviously.

Yea the requirements for someone to receive a 1st degree murder charge is pretty much impossible to get unless you display slam-dunk intent, premeditation, and it was particularly heinous. Man 2,1 or Murder 2 could both be considered possible though.

Intent means that you intend the act. Whether the actor thinks it is lawfull doesn't matter.
