Man spits on cop, gets life in jail

[kahljorn]

The orgin of the crime is defined by a specific cause; a lack of morality. You may consider it black and white, "Bad is bad, good is good", but yet you could excuse the rich people with bilions of dollars who sit in rich homes getting rich while poor people cry and suffer everyday, but it's not a crime-- not even considered immoral.
Anyway, back on topic, the nature of a crime is never defined by the intent, or even if they did it. It's defined by the lack of morality in it and the lack of care or repentence for the suffering the person has caused. Most of that can't be judged(although they do have plea bargains), so instead it's easier to judge based on the nature and lack of morality of the crime, i.e.: person kills a person on spur of the moment emotional impulses; gets murder 2. Person ignores somebody who is in danger of dying; depraved indifference(i think depraved indifferance is worse then murder 2, though).
