Nancy Grace

In other words, you have a heart which is abandoned of empathy for other people.

and you do something so insanely reckless, it equals murder.

That would be my argument to this jury, and you're trying to blame bad lighting?

I respect that.

And what Jackson is going to argue is that wasn't in his frame of mind, that he didn't intend on doing that, didn't intend on trying to harm anybody.

Again, you just made me so happy because you said he didn't intend it.

But isn't the black and white letter of the law, which will be read to the jury in jury instructions just after closing arguments.

That the law presumes the defendant intends the natural consequences of his act.

Isn't that true?

It is.

The law presumes that you intend the natural consequence of your act.

I don't care what's in his mind.

Why do I care what he's thinking?

You should care because the first question Jackson is going to ask him, did you intend on driving off the side of the road to kill these young ladies?

Abandoned heart means you act with such gross negligence.

with a malignant heart that you kill others.

What you're thinking does not go as far as called negligence.

You're not thinking, hey, I want to kill four girls all dressed up in their party dresses to go to the Sigma Chi mixer.

You don't have to think that.

If I go into the Mall of America with an Uzi and start firing, I don't have to know who my victims are.
