Beyond The Official Narrative with Richard Kary, May 2, 2023

Every state has its own criminal statutes where different types of homicide, including murder, are defined. In addition, there is legal precedent in each state regarding charging and prosecuting the crime of homicide.

Paul should read the Colorado criminal statute where first degree murder is defined:

https://codes.findlaw.com/co/title-18-criminal-code/co-rev-st-sect-18-3-102/

“(1) A person commits the crime of murder in the first degree if: …”

Note this part:

(d) Under circumstances evidencing an attitude of universal malice manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life generally, he knowingly engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death to a person, or persons, other than himself, and thereby causes the death of another;  or …”

Those who threw the rocks are being charged with first degree murder due to (d), which says nothing about premeditation or intent to kill, instead it says “extreme indifference” and “knowingly engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death” — I think both of those fit here.

So that’s why those who threw the rocks that killed that young woman are being charge with first degree murder per the current Colorado definition of that crime.
