   Life and Death.   
      
   A conviction of 1st degree murder means we get to kill the condemned   
   with the state's blessing.   
      
   A conviction of 2nd degree murder means we have to let the condemned   
   live behind bars for the rest of his days.   
      
   >This was a brutal murder but it wasn't premeditated (AFAIK).   
      
   The man was in custody, and in restraints, posing no threat to either   
   himself or to others. How could it not have been premeditated? You are   
   talking about a guy, in restraints, being pinned down by a cop who is   
   kneeling on his neck, for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, while three other   
   cops chose to do nothing to save the poor soul.   
      
   Some have called this a good old-fashioned lynching, given the fact   
   it was a black man who lost his life at the hands of a white man who   
   clearly had it in for him. The others who helped him do it are just   
   as guilty. Four [former] cops, three of them white and one of them   
   Asian. Would have made fine KKK members in the good ol' days.
