First Degree Murder which is a premeditated
You've said this multiple times but you're wrong. The First Degree Murder Statute has nothing to do with "premeditated".

quote:True. Louisiana's first degree murder statute is built around a specific list of aggravating factors that would elevate a murder to first degree. Most of them have to do with the identity of the victim--elderly, child, law enforcement, etc. I'm pretty sure Tahj doesn't fit any of those descriptions.

Some have to do with what else the killer may have been doing at the time--certain crimes such as specific enumerated crimes like kidnapping. As far as we know, this situation won't fit any of those either.

Depends on how you define premeditated. If you are defining it as killing with the specific intent to kill or inflict great bodily injury, then yes, Louisiana's first degree murder statute has it. If you are talking about making some long and drawn out scheme to commit murder, then no not that's not what is contemplated in any of our laws. But it only takes a second to develop the specific intent to kill, just as it only takes a second of contemplation to premeditate. Some people use the words interchangeably. You know what they mean, get over it.
