That depends on which state you are in. Each state defines each one differently.

In Arizona First Degree Murder:

13-1105. First degree murder; classification

A. A person commits first degree murder if:

1. Intending or knowing that the person's conduct will cause death, the person causes the death of another person, including an unborn child, with premeditation or, as a result of causing the death of another person with premeditation, causes the death of an unborn child.

Answer 3

Well, the answer can vary from state to state depending on how their statutes are written and the terminology used in definition. But, typically, it is the following (or similar)

1st degree murder means there was an element of malice and forethought. Wherein, you intended to perform some act that you knew, or reasonably should have known would cause death. Additionally, you specifically planned and selected a place, time and manner of committing that act.

2nd degree would be along the lines of, for whatever reason, you went to a place to, as someone else suggested, to confront another person, or any other reason. You and the other person got into an argument or other type of altercation and, in heat of the moment you committed an act which caused the death of the other person. example: the other person punched you, you fell down by the fireplace, as an opportunity you grabbed a poker from the stand next to the fireplace and hit the other person with it and they died.

Manslaughter would be a situation where, with no malice or forethought, you performed some act, with an element of negligence, that caused the death of another. Example: you say, hey, I bet I Can jump that bus in my toyota. In doing so you cause a collision in which another person dies.  

Answer 4

Now that your WHITE HUSBAND has been promoted to a Security Officer for special events, will he accidently display his uncontrolled aggression and racist anger in public, like he does when he slaps you around the house in front of your WHITE CHILDREN?
