  • Premeditated murder means an individual decides (plans) to kill before taking action. It is up to the lawyers representing the victim if the individual can prove it was premeditated murder and then the jury decides.

What are the degrees of murder?

First degree: killing with the intent to kill. Usually requires premeditation. Also includes felony murder - an unplanned murder that occurs during the commission of a felony (example is defendant burglarizes a house and during the burglary kills the homeowner - no premeditation but committed during a felony). Second degree: killing with the intent to do harm but not the intent to kill. Example - shooting someone in the leg with the intent to wound but not kill, and the victim bleeds to death. Third degree: killing that resulted from indifference or negligence. Usually there must be a legal duty (parent - child), but can also include crimes like driving drunk and causing a fatal accident. Fourth degree: felony murder committed by an accomplice. Same as felony murder, but instead of one burglar there are two. Burglar A kills the homeowner and that is first degree murder. Burglar B did not take part in the killing but did take part in the burglary and that is fourth degree. These are old terms that are now all but useless except in studying the history of criminal law. The definition of murder is now a matter of whatever the statute in a given state says, even though some may still use the terms.
