Depraved Heart Murder Definition
I think Noor meets the definition of this description of a "depraved heart"
the key words are " recklessly engaged in conduct which created a grave risk of death to another person, and thereby caused the death of another person".
" To constitute depraved-heart murder, the act must have manifested a
reckless indifference to human life in general. For example, an unjustified
shooting at a passing train, or into a house which generally poses a risk
to a group of individuals, and which results in death, is a familiar example
of traditional depraved-heart murder".
"The traditional view has since evolved. An act which poses a risk to only one
individual and which results in that individual's death may also be deemed
depraved-heart murder. For example, death which resulted from a beating
has been deemed to be within the scope of depraved-heart murder statutes".
I am interested in your thoughts as to whether you believe Noor fits into this definition.
i think it is important that Justine Damond objectively posed absolutely no threat: only in the mind of a man who panicked and recklessly and without regard for human life, did this woman pose a threat, causing Noor to pull the trigger (maybe more than once), and shoot her dead.
