Here in Mississippi, and many other jurisdictions, it is defined thusly: "1) The killing of a human being without the authority of law by any means or in any manner shall be murder in the following cases: (a) When done with deliberate design to effect the death of the person killed, or of any human being; (b) When done in the commission of an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved heart, regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual; (c) When done without any design to effect death by any person engaged in the commission of any felony other than rape, kidnapping, burglary, arson, robbery, sexual battery, unnatural intercourse with any child under the age of twelve (12), or nonconsensual unnatural intercourse with mankind, or felonious abuse and/or battery of a child in violation of subsection (2) of Section 97-5-39, or in any attempt to commit such felonies; (d) When done with deliberate design to effect the death of an unborn child." The important distinction is that it be done "without the authority of law." Hence, killing in self-defense, for example, is not murder because one has the right to defend oneself. It is not the "killing" alone that makes murder what it is. There are a number of things to consider. Frank Farmer Jackson, Miss.
