Photos of a person can vary in subtle ways too, perhaps as a person ages or even just changes their makeup or something. It's not valid to require everything to be perfectly clear-cut in some objective way.

Life is subjective, which is why courts always try to take the mental state of the accused into account, things like whether malice was present, whether the accused was in a rational state of mind, etc. This is why we have first and second degree murder as two different things.
