Fking ridiculous.

Doesn't this make the prosecutors in this case guilty of murder?

Murder means intent. It makes them guilty of manslaughter, at best. I don't know if there's any legal precedent for that (I'm not a lawyer), but I'd imagine that a civil case by the deceased's family for a wrongful death would be in order.
