Even then, there is prosecutorial discretion. There are all kinds of edge cases, like brainwashed/abused accomplices, and the gray areas between murder, manslaughter, and self defense, or between different degrees of murder. It's easy to say all the real murders should be charged as such, but which are those? Just about any homicide could turn into a murder trial, if the prosecutor were so inclined, but not all of them should turn into a murder trial.
