A) Being off of his meds makes it a different crime. Reckless endangerment. Facts of the crime are different... so Invalid. The actual crime started well before this happened when he went off his meds knowing he'd be a danger. Reckless Endangerment. B) Same punishment as any other stabbing. C) Different facts of the crime. He had premdiatated stabbing someone. Unless C2) He planned to stab someone in particular then decided this guy would do. In which case, same punishment if he has stabbed as many people as person B. If not, again... facts of the crime are different and would be reflected in sentencing. Though if he was dumb enough to actually let people know he was going to stab someone else, i'm pretty sure there are other charges he could be brought up on. D) He's not intentionally stabbing him then is he? So.... different facts of the crime? |
So let me get this straight your saying a single crime.
Someone is walking down the street bumps into a man and then intentionally kills him
Then isn't a man walking down the street accidently bumps into a man, notices the man is black so he then kills him a different crime?
You said it, different facts of the crime. You can't say the same crime happening differently should have the same punishment or out come.
Again I will say motive is the drive behind sentencing and motive is what helps prisons know how to deal with the criminal. Rehabilititation likelyness to re-offend etc...etc...
