"A person has a depraved indifference to human life when that person has an utter disregard for the value of human life a willingness to act, not because he or she means to cause grievous harm to the person who is killed but because he or she simply does not care whether or not grievous harm will result," according to New York's penal law resources used by judges to instruct juries. "In other words, a person who is depravedly indifferent is not just willing to take a grossly unreasonable risk to human life that person does not care how the risk turns out. Depraved indifference to human life reflects a wicked, evil or inhuman state of mind as manifested by brutal, heinous and despicable acts."
It adds, "A person acts with a depraved indifference to human life when, having a conscious objective not to kill but to harm, he or she engages in torture or a brutal, prolonged and ultimately fatal course of conduct against a particularly vulnerable victim."
