Question for Criminal Lawyers

Posted By Darian Rachal

Mark Costello III said:

Yesterday's arrest of George Zimmerman for 2nd Degree Murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin got me to thinking about the different charges involving homicide. I think I know what 1st Degree Murder is, it includes a pre-initial desire to kill the victim, planning the killing as well as killing. But I don't have any real grasp on the differences between it and 2nd Degree Murder, Voluntary Manslaughter, and Involuntary Manslaughter. If criminal lawyers or other who know all the distinctions could respond, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Mark, I am not certain but I think it varies from state to state.

Russ, I think it will be quite "amusing" to watch the antics Obama engages in, between now and November, in his desperate effort to be reelected. Grab some popcorn and watch the fun. grin

Sunspot 1476 is easily visible by eye alone through a shade #14 welder's glass. So if you have a shade #14 welder's glass, or proper solar filter, check it out.

While spots are more detailed through a properly filtered solar telescope, it's always fun to see them without optical aid.

Clear skies, Alan
Alan, I took a look at it yesterday through a welder's glass.

Obama is an Economic Illiterate

Russ, I honestly believe that Obama does not have a basic understanding of how a free market system is supposed to operate. cwy

Those pesky Muslims are at it again

Charles, This certainly is an example of an individual being martyred for their faith. I assume that if he would have renounced Christianity, they would have let him live.

Doug, It's the "standard operating procedure" of the Left; a lie is just as good as the truth if it serves their purpose. They are nothing more than what Pravda was in the Soviet Union.
