Corrected entry: When Gray and Darby go to see Gavin's wife, Gray says, "We believe it wasn't an accidental murder." Since when is a murder accidental?

Correction: They weren't seeing Gavin's wife. It was Morgan's wife they wanted to talk to. Morgan (known as Garcia in most of the film) was supposedly killed in a random mugging incident. Gray's remark means he believes the mugging/killing of Morgan was not a random accident, but a planned assassination.

Correction: Normamc9 is correct. "Murder" is the deliberate taking of a life. Accidentally killing someone is called "manslaughter." You can't "accidentally murder" someone. The line should be "we believe it wasn't an accident" or "we don't believe his death want an accident."
