Does Murder Have to Have Intent Along With It?

[Road Runner]

I think that it has however, I think that this was a case of murder. One shot was considered manslaughter, two shots murder. Btw, after reading the comments it looks like her parole was denied.

Does Murder Have to Have Intent Along With It?​

No, it can be involuntary manslaughter. But I think the term 'Murder' has a certain implication of INTENT that comes along with it.

Yeah but what about this particular case or would you prefer a brief summary?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Depends how the law is written.

Depends how the law is written.

More like, depends if you the target is the color orange or if you are the CEO of a health care insurance company or if they have not been born yet.

It could be you are just doing society a favor.

 

[shockedcanadian]

It depends on who committed the crime...

Comments on a YouTube video (and YT vids in general), are your go to source of credible information?


It’s not just that people like you are wrong, it’s that you are so confident in your wrongness

It's because of her job as a police officer. She was trained to protect the public and apparently raked up too much overtime to function properly and a man lost his life as a result of it.

The Common law definition of "murder" is "homicide with malice aforethought." Hence, killing in a fit of rage would not be "murder," but rather manslaughter.

Virtually every State, however, has refined this to its own preferences. In almost every state, a death in connection with another felony (e,g, robbery) is considered "murder."

Great point. Kyle Rittenhouse supposedly didn't murder the people he killed. But then a guy murdered a BLM protester in Texas and after being convicted of MURDER, the Texas Republican governor pardoned the murderer.

So true, sometimes it's called "suicided".

Kyle went to court, right? What was the court's decision on that case? There is no "supposedly".

Not guilty.

What was the courts decision on that other guy I was mentioning? They found him guilty of murder. So why would a Republican governor get involved? Other than because it's okay for a white man to shoot a black man. Or in this case, a white man who's at a BLM protest.

Personally, I don't think that any politician should have the power to get involved and pardon/commute any sentence that has already
been decided by the courts. Look what Biden did, it all sucks. It's not often where you and I have common ground. Cheers

“Homicide” includes murder. So too, it includes manslaughter.

Murder has an intent element. Even an accidental killing in the course of the commission of another felony (like armed robbery) still has the intent element for the underlying felony. So even felony murder has an intent element.

Trump issued a total of 144 pardons during his first four years in office

Biden 8064

I see a lot of questionable pardons that Trump gave. Seemed very shady. Like Kwami Kilpatrick. Why? Why give him a pardon?

Biden is commuting the sentences of close to 1,500 individuals who were placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities. He is also pardoning 39 individuals who were convicted of non-violent crimes. These actions represent the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.

I don't think any of these people are politically connected like Kwami. I think Biden did the right thing here.

The President is intent on granting clemency to individuals convicted of non-violent crimes who were sentenced under outdated laws, policies, and practices that left them with longer sentences than if the individuals were sentenced today.

No questionable pardons by Potato?

Yeah. You’re objective.

Murder in Texas means:

(1) intentionally or knowingly causes the death of an individual;

(2) intends to cause serious bodily injury and commits an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual;

She testified that she intended to kill the victim when she fired the shots. Her mistaken belief that it was her apartment did not negate her intent, and the jury found her guilty.

I don’t know. I’m sure some political motivated. But I can show you trumps shady pardons. Can you show me Biden’s?

It does seem with democrats in control that all laws are outdated.
