Intent.

A degree. Just kidding. First degree is planned or premeditated while second degree is the typical homicide and third degree is when murder wasn’t intended but was the result (meant to harm but ended up killing).

1st Degree Murder- is the unlawful killing meaning that is was committed after planning it.
Penalty- Life in Prison without possibility of parole/ Death Penalty
2nd Degree- an intentional killing that is not planned but in a heat of passion. For example John is driving down the road and catches his wife with another man he then pulls out a gun and aims it at the man accidently killing his wife. This would be murder in the 2nd degree

Reagan, the way you described 3rd degree murder would be manslaughter
In the UK we don’t have the death penalty. The biggest thing we have is Indefinite prison sentence.

q1 - not all states use “degree”, but they mean the same thing. 1st degree would be the equivalent of Capital Murder, which depending on the state can involve a premeditated killing, killing more than one person or persons of certain occupations, killing a person of a certain age, killing during the commission of certain felonies and Murder for hire. 2nd degree murder is basically someone who decides under whatever circumstance exist at the moment to take a human life. It could be the result of a heated argument, a pool game or over a man or women. The main ingredient that is missing is that it was not planned.
q2 - showing no remorse during a trial where you are judged by your peers can result in a more severe penalty because you are portraying yourself as someone who is still a danger to society. The remorseful person, to many, shows the possibility of rehabilitation. This is why the smart sociopath will fake remorse.
q3 - if it deters just one felon from committing a crime with a firearm, then you can answer yes. After 27 years in law enforcement I can agree to the yes answer, as I have interrogated suspects who have admitted to carrying out their crimes to avoid greater penalties. This is the guy who robs the bank with a toy gun. If he’s caught, he doesn’t have a firearm, and charge is reduced.
q4 - Depends on the state, but in Texas if you commit 2 Class A Misdemeanor thefts, the third can be upgraded to a 3rd degree felony.
q5 - Don’t have a favorite on TruTV. I prefer fictional stories that entertain, I have had enough reality.
