And he got charged with the dismemberment and not the murder and didn't do a lot of time on that.
Well, let's say they make that same argument and then they catch him in Walmart six months earlier because they will find it if it exists, finding these bags.
Now, people watch.
You can find out later that a lot of more information came out as a result of that.
But yes, dismembering a body and disposing of it incorrectly, if you will, is a separate charge that someone can find themselves on.
So why would you have been buying the bag six months before the shooting if you were the killing or whatever if you were not planning on killing this person all along?
All this goes to the premeditated nature of what proves a murder.
And that's the difference between a murder and a manslaughter charge.
Manslaughter is heat of passion.
It just happened.
I just, I reacted.
I caught this person in a situation and I snapped.
Perfect analysis.
That's the difference between murder and manslaughter.
You're exactly right.
Depending on where they're going to go, a good prosecutor will use that.
They will say that the murder is the intentional killing, the premeditated intentional killing of another with malice of forethought.
