Homicide

It has two meanings. One, if someone finds something very funny, hilarious, they'll say "that KILLED me!" As in, they laughed until they died, so to speak. The other meaning is if someone is angry with someone else, they'll say "I could kill him" or something like that, which just means that they are angry with them. If a child gets in trouble, they say "my mom's going to KILL me!" which just means that their parents are going to be angry with them.

This means that some authority, probably a coroner or medical examiner, has determined that a death was not by natural causes. suicide, or accident.

The Night Stalker, aka Richard Rameriz, will spend the rest of his days in a California prison. Most commonly recoginized as the killer with the pentagram drawn on his palm, Ramirez is a self-proclaimed Satan worshiper that terrorized the Los Angeles area in the 1970's. Unfortunately for the taxpayer Ramirez is alive and well and has since married although there is no hope that he will ever be released from prison.

25 years to life

Murder in the first degree primarily entails prior knowledge of the crime, (proving x murder was planned before carried out) but one can be convicted of first degree if involved are (and this may vary by country, I am going by Canadian law) acts of mutilation, acts of sexual assault, or forcible confinement issues, though the case usually has to be extreme for a prosecutor to ask first of an 'unplanned' murder.

Difficult to say.

While one article states that five of the six were charged (the sixth was granted immunity to provide evidence to convict the others). The longest sentence given in the article was a fifty year maximum. That one would likely still be in prison (34 of the 50 down).

Another article claims the intruders were three men and two women, although no evidence of such is given.

Factually, I can find mention of only three by name, and the claim of six intruders seems to prevail. Of the six, only three appear to have been charged. Jerome and Howard Woodward were both sentenced to fifteen years in prison for their part in the botched burglary, both would be out of prison now, provided they did not catch further charges while incarcerated. Watson Thompson was acquitted and never went to prison. No mention is made of the other two to three, or of any women in the gang.

Yes. The New Mexico Penitentiary Riot, which took place on February 2 and February 3, 1980, in the state's maximum security prison south of Santa Fe, was one of the most violent prison riots in the history of the American correctional system: 33 inmates died and more than 200 inmates were treated for injuries. None of the 12 officers taken hostage were killed, but seven were treated for injuries caused by beatings and rapes.

Ultraviolet (UV) light causes some body fluids, such as urine and semen, to fluoresce, making them visible to the naked eye.

Worst case scenario - the Death Penalty.

First, stay physically active-being as fit as a standard U.S. soldier would be satisfactory.

Second, learn how to use firearms, knives, and/or martial arts. Of these all, firearms and knives/wires are most crucial seeing as how most hits revolve around these tools.

Third, work for a local gang. You have to prove your loyalty for the gang, and you'd probably have to kill someone. Eventually, you'll have to abandon your previous life and join the underworld completely.

Fourth, work your way up to the "big leagues". Start working for major syndicates like the Cosa Nostra, drug cartels like The Sinaloa cartel, Gulf Cartel, Los Zetas, etc.

From then on, it's really your choice - keep carrying out contract killings, work as a bodyguard, train soldiers/bodyguards of high profile members & criminal leaders, etc.

Only if the passenger somehow contributed to the commission of the crime.

All detectives in the NYPD and elsewhere begin their careers as uniformed police officers, assigned to patrol. There is no guaranteed path to the detective's gold badge. Learning the job and doing quality work are important, but it also helps to be lucky and well-liked. It is rare for anyone to become a detective in less than five years, and 10-15 years is more common.

Not exactly. A prosecutor might offer a plea bargain in exchange for not seeking the death penalty on conviction. This is not unusual. If the prosecutor can persuade the defendant to plead guilty, he or she saves the state the cost of a murder trial (the only offense likely to result in the death penalty), which can run into the millions. If the prosecutor says, "take this plea bargain or you will get the death penalty," he or she is assuming they can convict you, which is never a sure thing.

Yes; your jaw, nose, front of the neck and many parts of the brain; and even your carotid artery or jugular vein - depending on how soon you get medical attention.

Phil Lewis did not kill someone but was sentenced to 5 years in prison for vehicular homicide, driving while under the influence.

An unethical investigator would be only one of many reasons for a problem with a case presented at trial. A list of reasons would fill a text book. However, if an unethical investigator was the cause, any evidence that resulted from the unethical behavior would probably be excluded from court. That does not always mean the end of the case, there could still be enough legitimate evidence that can be presented in court.

Not to the grieving friends and family of the victim.

First and foremost, you must already be a sworn law enforcement officer. You will undoubtedly have many years of experience and eventually work your way from uniform into the investigative unit(s) and will have to have developed a particular skill in investigating cases and interrogating suspects.
