[quote]Second-degree murder is the killing of another person while acting with an extreme disregard for human life. In order to convict the defendant of second-degree murder, the State must prove:
(1) that the defendant caused the death of (name);
(2) that the defendant’s conduct created a very high risk to the life of (name); and
(3) that the defendant, conscious of such risk, acted with extreme disregard of the life-endangering consequences.[/quote]
Like the cops in the beating to death of Kelly Thomas, they won’t be convicted.
They’ll get away with it because they’ll claim they didn’t drive that rough, that they didn’t think it could kill him, that the driver didn’t know the others didn’t secure him in the vehicle blah blah blah.
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
It is simple, you should not die in police custody on the way to jail when you enter custody uninjured.
