		In England under the Norman system homicide became a plea of the crown, and the rights of the kindred to private vengeance and to compensation were gradually superseded in favor of the right of the king to forfeitures where the homicide amounted to a crime (felony).
		Though homicide was thus made a publlc offence and not a matter for private vengeance, it took long to discriminate between those forms of homicide which should and those which should not be punished.
		Homicide in self-defence is excusable when the slayer is himself in immediate danger of death, and has done all he could to avoid the assault.

		Considering how many actors had regular or semi-regular roles during "Homicide's" seven-year run on NBC, one could be forgiven for thinking that the most remarkable thing about this TV movie is that all of the regulars (and many of the semi-regulars) were back for what is probably the final go-round.
		The HOMICIDE Movie was great because it was anchored in a grabbing central storyline involving the beloved Giardello (Yaphet Kotto) while still allowing for subplots that helped tie up loose plot ends from the series, all without becoming a cheesy reunion show.
		While the earliest seasons of HOMICIDE (1-3) were the best, all of the seasons have merit, because the acting always stayed strong and the plots intriguing.
