== == I believe his name was Ron Rickman. Not sure on the spelling. I believe he did away with his wife, said she was on a shopping trip and never returned.

If we're talking about high school I would say Columbine: 12 students and 1 teacher killed, 21 others wounded. If you are including colleges I would go with Virginia Tech: 32 people killed, 25 wounded.

Not in a strictly legal sense. Many years prior to his election, Andrew Jackson shot and killed a man in a duel, but that was not considered homicide or murder at that time and place.

You do not get hired directly into a law enforcement agency for the position of Homicide Detective. You get hired as rookie Police Officer and work your way up through the job. If you are perceived by the department higher-ups to have some special skills that might qualify you for the position you may be tapped for the job. Bottom line: Any studying you do in college will stand you in good stead but it will not guarantee you a certain specific job in a law enforcement agency.

No. Homicide is the killing of one person by another. A fetus is not legally a person, and so does not count as a second homicide if the mother is killed.

Of course, that doesn't mean that the judge can't impose a more severe sentence in such a case, if he decides that the situation warrants it.

John Lennon was fatally shot outside his apartment building (The Dakota) on December 8, 1980. He was killed by an obsessive-maniac named Mark David Chapman.

In the United States, 35 states have the death penalty, while 15 oppose it. Since 1976, 1243 people have been executed. So far in 2011, nine people have been put to death. Many inmates have spent over twenty years on death row, and 68% of these convictions have been reversed. Less than 1% of murders' are condemned to death and only about 2% of death row inmates are ever executed. More minorities are faced with the dread of death row, than whites are.

The term "murder" means a premeditated or preplanned killing of another person. You may be thinking of unintentional homicide, which could range from manslaughter by culpable negligence to justifiable homicide. In the case of the latter, the person must be committing a lawful act in order to claim justifiable homicide - self-defense or accident. He could still be charged with homicide by culpable negligence.

Sufficient probable cause and evidence to place the defendant inside the location which was burglarized.

Yes. Throwing a pencil (or anything else) at someone can be considered assault. Hitting them with it can be considered battery. These can be brought as civil (for damages) or criminal charges.

John Walsh, the host of TVs America's Most Wanted became an advocate for crimes against children after his own son Adam was kidnapped and murdered in Hollywood, FL in the early 1980s. Adam was taken from a department store with his mother nearby and was found much later decapitated. Walsh suspected that a drifter named Otis Toole was the murderer and just recently was proved by DNA testing. Toole wandered the country with another murderer name Henry Lee Lucas murderering and robbing any number of people. When Adam Walsh was taken, Toole had been left by himself because Lucas was finally arrested and was in prison in Texas. Toole was finally arrested himself and was sent to prison but was never charged with Adam's murder. He died in prison never admitting any guilt in the Walsh crime. Interesting fact:Lucas was originally given the death penalty which was later commuted by then Texas govener George W. Bush. Lucas and Toole claimed to have killed hundreds of people all over the country. When discovered that they had grossly inflated the number of murders they committed Bush felt he could not be executed for crimes he may not have committed, hence the commuted sentence. Lucas died in Huntsville prison in Texas without a true body count.

The most common homicide of someone between 10 and 24 years of age is by someone known to the victim by firearm.

Murder is the unlawful, intentional killing of another person. Homicide by culpable negligance is the killing of a person by committing an act of negligance or careless act that if not committed would not have caused the victim to die.

The Charles Manson gang. it is interesting- as it befuddled the police- only ONE of the Five Manson murders on the Cielo drive site ( unlike the related LaBianca grocery murders- which did involve gunshots) involved a firearm, an unusual nine-shot revolver by Harrington and Richardson. The morbid jokesters referred to Manson"s Full House- Three Jacks ( male victims) and Two Queens ( Sharon Tate and Abigail Folger).

You don't 'do' anything, you are dead, just hope or pray that before you die your loved ones give you a good send off and your dependants know where your last will and insurance policy (if you have one) can be found.
