How can you delineate between criminals who commit identical acts?
Premeditation, mental state, accidental vs. intentional. These are some of the factors that differentiate 1st degree murder, 2nd degree murder, manslaughter.

I'm not speaking of the legal realities that provide different punishments, I'm curious about the morality that allows you to see a difference.
