which makes it a really problem when you codify things like hate crimes and terrorism crimes.

- That's why I said it's a problem *when* you codify. Because then it's not just a question of "Did the defendant commit murder" - ty97 Jun 4, 19:41 8

    - I like your optimism on that one, but I'm not so sure. -- nm - ty97 Jun 4, 19:46 6

        I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that only come into it at sentencing? - Reagen Jun 4, 19:55 4

        Would vary by state law, I believe. - ty97 Jun 4, 19:57 2

        Doesn't disallow a state from defining a crime called murder 1 and a separate crime called hate murder, does it? -- nm - ty97 Jun 4, 20:00
