| Alasted said: The "degree" of the murder simply refers to the intent of the assailant. Just going by the details contained in the article, I'd say the prosecution may have had trouble proving malice aforethought. Having said that, I entered this thread expecting to make a half-witty quip about "hardcore" gamers, but this is just horrible. |
Without throwing a lot of legal language that will confuse our other users. First-murder would be murder with intent, while second degree is 'ordinarily defined as 1) an intentional killing that is not premeditated or planned, nor committed in a reasonable "heat of passion"'
so that's why I think the guy deserves second degree.
Am I not correct here? (not a rhetorical question)
