Unrepentant Murderer.
Manslaughter. But yeah, fuck this guy.
Murder. You're not going 75mph in a 25mph zone and trying not to kill people. Doesn't matter whether there was a specific target in mind.
Murder requires malice (i.e. intent), and you don't meet the standard of intent just by exceeding some level of recklessness/negligence.
Driving 75mph in a 25mph zone is malicious and indicates intent to kill people.
No, that's not how intent works. What it shows is recklessness.
Maybe that's not how it works by your definition of intent, but it certainly is how it works in mine.
I'm just using the legal definition.
Right, and I'm not a prosecutor so I don't give a fuck about specific legal definitions.
If you do it in a car it's all good. Evidently if you get killed by a speeding hunk of metal, it's really important to differentiate between the different sizes.
I don't think fuckery after-the-fact can change whether you intended to kill someone.
