First Degree Murder:

When one commits a murder purposely, it is considered first-degree, which, in Florida, is punishable by death. First-degree murder is most commonly referred to as “premeditated murder.” How long does one have to premeditate a murder for it to be considered first-degree? It could be a split second. If someone were to point a gun at someone and aim it at their heart instead of just shooting quickly, they’re in the premeditation zone.

Second Degree Murder:

When one commits a killing knowingly-—meaning that they are acting with a conscious awareness that they are doing something that could end another’s life, then they are committing second degree murder.
When one commits a killing recklessly, they are acting with a conscious disregard for another person’s life—-or they are acting in a way that could cause a substantial and unjustifiable risk to that person. In Florida, when one commits a killing knowingly or recklessly, he or she can also be charged with second-degree murder, which carries up to life in prison.

Just so that you know the difference between the two. If you were not there, hav eto wait until all the investigation is complete then make a judgement call.
