Summary: Murder is a broad term used to describe, and inevitably classify, the types of Homicide -- that is, the killing of another human being.

1st Degree Murder: A principle commits 1st degree murder when he/she intentionally kills another human being. This means that there is a thought about the act, there are some steps taken to plan and map out the act, and there are some steps taken to enact the plan or prepare for the act. First degree murder does not necessarily mean that the act was solely premeditated, all that needs to be proven is the intent being either intentional, or knowingly.
