The primary distinction between Premeditated First Degree Murder and Second Degree Murder with a Depraved Mind is that First Degree Murder requires a specific and premeditated intent to kill.

Does this apply? Hmmm....

No, I don't think that his action was premeditated. I suspect that the likely outcome will be manslaughter. The other problem is going to be obtaining an impartial jury of his peers. I'd like to see some charges brought against those that fanned the flames in this case. Surely, others have been harmed by the intense rhetoric emanating from the media frenzy and hyped race baiting by those that make a living from such endeavors.
