Not right. My original post was in regards to Stan L saying maybe there were footprints at the acreage, which would indicate NO was kidnapped and alive at the acreage, and then subsequently murdered.
If you read the definition of 1st degree murder closely, which I just posted earlier, you'll see that it specifically states that regardless of intent, if a murder committed during a kidnapping, then it is considered 1st degree.
My point, which you missed, was that if they had evidence that he was taken alive and subsequently murdered... based on the actual definition of 1st degree murder which includes more than just intent... THEN it would have most likely resulted in a charge of 1st degree murder.
If there were no evidence he was murdered, then there likely would be no charge at all.
Right?
I believe that NO is presumed dead due to the length of time that had gone by, and that there was evidence his grandparents were murdered. It may be that there is no concrete evidence that NO was murdered, and is being based on purely circumstantial evidence. In this case, how could he have survived on his own for the two weeks if he was alive.
