The same as if you were the one who committed the actual act.
As first-degree murder is planned beforehand, then the use of death penalty may be appropriate, but this is my opinion.
In Canada if a person still has three prior assault charges pending,what happens when he gets a new charge of second degree murder? could he get out on bail,and how much jail time is he looking at?
Sentences are case specific. In some states, first degree murder can be punished with death.
I'm sure it depends on where you are. In Tennessee, statute 39-13-202 states the penalty for first degree murder is death or life in prison.
Yes. States that do not have capital punishment still prosecute persons for homicide in the first degree.
Since the question was put into the Crime and Criminal Law category, the answer is given in that context. First is worse than second in the sense that a crime of the first degree is worse than a crime of the second degree. First degree murder will call for a more severe penalty than will second degree murder.

First degree murder: premeditated and intentional killing of another, and culpable mental state. Second degree murder: knowingly killed someone.
First-degree murder is premeditated and intentional, while second-degree murder is committed without premeditation but with malice aforethought. First-degree murder typically carries a higher level of intent and planning than second-degree murder.
1st degree is worse because you get a longer prison sentence and you plan on the murder, you go into the crime intentionally killing that person.
