    By definition murder needs to premediated. If it is not then it is manslaughter.

      *premeditated, also there’s a whole world outside of the US, and US law is a really fucking bad baseline for good law regardless. Because the US is a backward shithole run by children.

      I think that’s a US thing.

      The UK requires intent to kill or greviously injure, which was also missing in this case.
