“Think of it like this: if someone gets so angry they swing a baseball bat at another person’s head, not specifically trying to kill them but knowing it could be deadly, and the person dies—that’s often second-degree murder.”
Second degree MURDER requires INTENT to kill. Except in cases of felony murder.
I suggest you refrain from posting opinions on the law.
I just showed you that Second degree does not intend to murder, but the death happens anyway because you didn’t care to ensure your deliberate act of harm did not kill me.
I got that straight off Grok.

Second-Degree Murder typically includes murder with malice intent, but not premeditated.
