Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
"second degree" murder is what's happening to me right now as I die laughing. How could you get more premeditated than this?
Fingers crossed that a jury still acquits despite this fuckery.
Apparently FIrst Degree Murder in New York only applies when killing cops, public servants, judges and so on, killing while serving a life sentence, killing as a terrorist act, and in a few other edge cases. Premediatet murder is all "just" second degree murder in NY
So even if he did it, he's technically not guilty of "second degree" murder?
Unless he accidentally or impulsively stalked and killed the CEO on a spur of the moment, lol
It'd be really funny if the defense somehow uses the false pre-meditation evidence to get the jury to not-guilty the 2nd degree murder charges.
Not sure how that would even work if they did but damn.
