quote:So, you're relying upon some general summary of murder law across all jurisdictions, rather than the specific statute at issue in this case? OK
"the crime generally covers killings that:
- Are intentional but lack premeditation.
- Result from acts intended to only cause serious bodily harm.
- Result from acts that demonstrate extreme indifference to human life."
Newsflash: This case turned upon two STATUTORY definitions, not some Cliffs Notes compilation.
As to the snide (now deleted) comment regarding my libertarian beliefs, I want you to read carefully and TRY to understand something VERY important ... which I suspect will go FAR over your head.
An ideology addresses the manner in which one thinks things SHOULD be ordered. If a person is incapable of SETTING ASIDE one's personal IDEOLOGY in order to evaluate the manner in which things actually ARE ordered, that person may well be an effective "ideologue," but should NOT be trusted to conduct ANY objective analysis of the real world. This is why all GOOD schools spend three full years beating this concept into students' minds with Socratic teaching.
