Wacka Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Well, unless he was a liberal, right? I'm saying, let people know the good and the bad. When Ted Kennedy dies, you won't hear a bit about him killing Mary Jo Kopechne. If there is a god, he'll die tomorrow, the 40th anniversary of her murder.

The Senator Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Do you know the definition of the word murder? First, let's be sure that you do.... Dictionary definition: mur·der: the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought Legal definition: The precise definition of murder varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Under the Common Law, or law made by courts, murder was the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought. The term malice aforethought did not necessarily mean that the killer planned or premeditated on the killing, or that he or she felt malice toward the victim. Generally, malice aforethought referred to a level of intent or recklessness that separated murder from other killings and warranted stiffer punishment. The definition of murder has evolved over several centuries. Under most modern statutes in the United States, murder comes in four varieties: (1) intentional murder; (2) a killing that resulted from the intent to do serious bodily injury; (3) a killing that resulted from a depraved heart or extreme recklessness; and (4) murder committed by an Accomplice during the commission of, attempt of, or flight from certain felonies. Now that you've been educated, you will no doubt agree that getting all 'liquored up' before getting behind the wheel of a car and driving off a bridge with a young female passenger sitting in the seat next to you, then saving yourself, swimming to shore, and going back to your hotel to sleep off the worst hangover you can imagine - thus making sure you're sober when the authorities finally catch up to you - while the girl struggles for the final few hours of her life to find the last pocket of air that may sustain her until help arrives (help that will never come because you're passed out in your hotel room), then - only after the crime is discovered by some locals and finally reported to authorities (far too late to mount a rescue attempt) - huddling with a group of highly paid advisers, attorneys, and spin doctors in a futile attempt to invent some plausible explanation - you will certainly agree that all of this more than meets the criterion of extreme recklessness resulting in an unlawful death, thus meets the legal definition of malice aforethought, thus meets the legal definition of murder. And, if that won't convince you, try this... link
