While the whole thing is WTF D: I am baffled by the shake-smoke-shake part. Why shake him at all especially twice?

[iolarah]

That got me too. She had a smoke to compose herself. And then shook the kid some more. IANAL, but how is that only second-degree murder?

IANAL, but how is that only second-degree murder?

Don't know if this was a serious question, but FL law requires premeditation (or that the killing was done during commission of certain crimes) to be 1st degree murder.

This comment was mostly to distract myself from the details of this story.

I guess there's no way to prove that she thought about shaking the child again before she shook him the second time, and one could probably argue that she didn't believe shaking could kill him. But in the tv police drama in my head, they're nailing her with first degree murder and it totally succeeds.

This made me sick to my stomach.
