Running a stoplight and making an illegal left turn into a kid running across the street, is unlwaful. Still counts as killing (legal term: manslaughter), not murder.
- spullara 4y agoTrue, but that isn't relevant. I am saying it is a necessary but not sufficient condition for it to be murder. By definition, it must be unlawful, but it also must be premeditated.

By definition, it must be unlawful, but it also must be premeditated. IANAL, but I don't believe murder can only be if it's premeditated. In fact, IIUC, most murders are not premeditated. Some examples: Felony murder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony_murder_rule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony_murder_rule Depraved indifference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depraved-heart_murder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depraved-heart_murder Murder without premeditation: https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/crime/2019/11/20/kalab-thomas-charged-murder-without-premeditation/4246976002/ https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/crime/2019/11/20/kal... I'm sure there are many other examples.
