I got this one, I’m currently studying for the Bar and that is one of those pesky little questions they like to spring on you.

Not all jurisdictions have the same definitions, but in general:

1st Degree: intent to kill, intent to do serious bodily harm, depraved heart or highly reckless actions, and felony murder (killed someone while committing a felony). Basically if you really wanted to hurt the person and you were pretty sure they could die from it, you committed first degree murder.

2nd Degree: everything that doesn’t fall into 1st Degree and Manslaughter

Manslaughter comes in two varieties: Voluntary and involuntary.

Voluntary: you were in a passion when the homicide occurred. For instance you walked in on your wife in bed with another man and you killed them both.

Involuntary: criminal negligence (ex: fell asleep at the wheel) or misdemeanor manslaughter (accidentally killed someone while performing a misdemeanor).

And that’s all I have on the subject. I think fate is telling me I need to be studying for the bar instead of reading Mental Floss. Annoying fate.

It boggles my mind that people still drive drunk, and that people have webpages devoted to ways to “beat” the breathalyzer. I bet some of those drunk drivers who killed people are now wishing that they had been “hassled” by some cop with a breathalyzer.

Sorry for the rant, but I think that drunk driving is one of the most selfish acts a person can commit.

My guess is that they use the Viewmaster because a Viewmaster uses 2 slightly different images to create a 3D effect. Looking at the two images side by side they look about the same.

now you see why.

according to wikipedia and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, assassination is the killing of a high profile/prominent person. so yes….only important people.
