Very detailed answer

Anecdotally from the people I have asked is something along the lines of "They looked different. Thicker skin, and bigger. Can't remember how they tasted, its been decades. But seem to think of them as having a creamier texture"

That detailed answer with primary sources seems to suggest this "creamer" aspect might have a slight truth to it.

Either way, it is technically still possible to try Gros Michel for yourself, but not super easy to obtain. May involve trying to grow a plant yourself.

Related, but curious. If she was in full uniform and armed, I presumed she would have had her police radio with her which she could have used for police/medical assistance.

Did she not have a radio on her and thus called via phone?

I think what you are saying is something far too many people are not well versed in. Everyone thinks its an insult if a charge isn't "1st degree murder" because they feel that is the most serious, from movies and tv.

Knowing the actual differences between crimes and charges is important. Especially in the age of mass social media, outrage and potential hysteria spreading based on more emotion than fact. Its moving towards being a sort of "civil responsibility" to know the basics of this when trial by media and the masses is becoming so casual. Its not just a jury anymore it seems.

It is frustrating to me when I see a DA go with 1st degree murder charge on something based on political/social pressure and you know they CANNOT get that conviction. They could have gotten another "lesser" charge and it would stick on appeal, the works. The sentencing can almost be the same (excluding death penalty states). I can think of a few recent cases locally where this has happened and it inevitably leads to outrage a few years later when a killer is found not guilty in a courtroom or their conviction is overturned on appeal. This is the opposite of justice being served.
