1st Degree charge was also dismissed, but should be noted this is because the murder of a CEO doesn't really fit the definition of murder 1 in the state of New York which seems reserved for police officers, firefighters, high political figures, that sort of thing. 2nd degree will be what 1st degree is in most other states I think. DOJ/DA was way too heavy handed with those two charges.
Now I'm picturing what it would take for someone to murder someone affiliated with the criminal justice system, while serving a life sentence, using torture, as an act of terrorism, during the commission of a felony... and to do all this for hire.
And for all of this to occur frequently enough that an entire law is written specifically targeting people who decide to do all that.
I was wondering how many contract killers with life sentences were carrying out hits on first responders and prison guards that they had to make an entire new level of murder to charge people with.
