“second degree” murder is what’s happening to me right now as I die laughing. How could you get more premeditated than this?
Fingers crossed that a jury still acquits despite this fuckery.
Apparently FIrst Degree Murder in New York only applies when killing cops, public servants, judges and so on, killing while serving a life sentence, killing as a terrorist act, and in a few other edge cases. Premediatet murder is all “just” second degree murder in NY
So even if he did it, he’s technically not guilty of “second degree” murder?
Unless he accidentally or impulsively stalked and killed the CEO on a spur of the moment, lol
It’d be really funny if the defense somehow uses the false pre-meditation evidence to get the jury to not-guilty the 2nd degree murder charges.
Not sure how that would even work if they did but damn.
