Please spread this, this "man" cannot be acquitted because people didn't know what they were doing and mass asked for the wrong charges to be made!

And in some good news today:

Wait so if you plan a murder it's suddenly not treated as seriously as a spontaneous murder?

[vikingrose24]

It’s taken just as seriously, but it is two separate charges.

People mistake murder in the first as a worse charge than murder in the second, but they’re only separated by premeditation. Had this cop gone out going “I’m gonna find this man named George Floyd and kill him today” then he’s guilty of murder in the first. If he went out going “I wanna kill someone today, anyone, idc who, just someone” then that’s murder in the second.

If I’m being honest, they better have some damn good evidence for murder in the second, because from what the public can tell, the cop is for sure guilty of murder in the third which is “I wanna hurt someone... oops I killed him”.

Not to mention that each charge comes with it's own qualifications for burden of proof - the higher the charge, the less likely he is to get charged. We should stop at 2nd degree, and hope that we have enough to charge on that

Please don't tweet/ post more about raising the degree!

[salmon404]

From my basic understanding

3rd degree is manslaughter which means pretty much accidental (get in a car accident and someone dies)

2nd degree is the conscious decision then and there to kill someone (heat of the moment, split decision etc)

1st degree is planning to kill someone (planning to kill your spouse for a long time or planning to kill someone else and making a set plan to follow through with)

George Floyd’s killers decided to kill him and let him die in that moment, there is no proof that they decided days or even longer before about what would happen. 2nd degree is the appropriate sentencing
