“Want to split some stupid hair-nice try. Look up the law-“ There is no requirement of premeditation to this crime and no requirement for there to be intent or knowledge on the part of the defendant.”
Simply put, you don’t know what you are talking about. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Simply put - I have a degree in criminal justice in the state of Texas and I know EXACTLY what I am talking about...lol
And - as I suspected - and have now researched - the cop has been charged with 3rd-degree murder - which - DRUM ROLL PLEASE - does NOT require intent.
"MN 609.195 MURDER IN THE THIRD DEGREE: Whoever, WITHOUT INTENT to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years."
Of course, I have put the WITHOUT INTENT part in all caps, bold and underline so that those who seem to want to argue stupid points - thinking they know everything, when in fact they know nothing, will get the point. If they want to look up Texas 19.04 and the legal definitions of that deal with intent - they can do that as well. Then - if they still want to come back and argue about charges STILL requiring intent - I can't help them - because you cannot fix stupid.
