Jan 6 was an example, but since the Feds do the violent bombings as that those cases could have mucked up the case law around Terrorism, which is a somewhat newer law. I'm not in favor of it in this case, but the DA will argue he was trying to influence or instigate political action with violence. This a problem with the Patriot Act giving the Government more power to protect themselves and stifle dissent.

I don't see the justification for a first degree murder charge. It doesn't seem to meet the statute. Wiz Imp Dec 23 #7

One of them is a lesser count. It's not unusual to file charges for both murder and manslaughter etc. LeftInTX Dec 23 #8

First degree usually means it's premeditated FakeNoose Dec 23 #11
