1) Homicide is the killing of another being or the act of
it. It is knowingly, purposely, recklessly, or negligently cause the death of
another. Homicide can be classified into two classes; criminal or non-criminal
homicide, where non-criminal homicide can be further divided as justifiable or
excusable homicide. Justifiable homicide is noncriminal and proper under law. It
is self-defense or the killing by officers, soldiers, those types of people. Excusable
homicide can be insanity, intoxication, extreme youth, or psychotic. Murder is
not far off from homicide, in fact it is part of homicide, it is criminal homicide.
Murder is not only the killing of another human being but that intent or the premeditation
to kill. It is mala in se, wrong in itself, and is unlawful. There is 1st
degree, 2nd degree, 3rd degree or manslaughter.
2) A father is charge with the murder of his two sons. His first
son, Travis Fox II, 6 months old a year ago, was taking to hospital due to
injuries, where he later died. Travis Fox was a suspect in the death but yet
was allowed to go back home to his family where he supposedly strike again by admitting he killed his 7 months old baby boy, William,
three weeks ago and in the process admit he killed his first born son. He proclaimed
that during both murders he was drunk, angered, and tired. He was ask to show how he shook the baby and from how he demonstrate it law officials stated that it was a violent shake. He is charged with 1st
degree murder on two counts. Under Arkansas law he knowingly cause the death of another, victim was under the age of 14 and he show no value to human life. His arraignment will be held on April 17th.
The only type of media that talk about this is news networks which gave facts more
so than opinions. But any killing of a child will be
sensationalized and the offender is looked through the most negative
light. The neighbors though of this couple were shock to hear the father,
Travis Fox, killed his sons. He is also charged for breaking his five year probation of
previous theft-related crimes.
3) "Mr. Brooks" is a movie about a serial killer. He has been
killing for quite a long time and has murdered many people but had never gotten
caught nor did he get caught in the movie. But there is no doubt if he did he
would be charged with murder in the first degree with multiple counts.
The music "Man Down" by Rihanna portrayed the murder of a man
by a young lady that has been sexually assaulted by that man. This constitutes murder because
in the video she didn’t kill him on the spot but went back home, got a gun, went
to the place he was at and shot him. All that shows she knew right from wrong and had the intent to kill.
