Message: [QUOTE="Art Vandelay, post: 2620659, member: 8304"] [b]re: [Confirmed] Russell Packer --> Panthers[/b] Premeditation is not an element of the crime of murder. In QLD you only need to be committing and act intended to cause death or grievous bodily harm. In NSW the definition extends to acts done with reckless indifference to human life. I think Packer's actions would definitely qualify for attempted murder in NSW, though in QLD it would be a bit trickier. But ultimately the prosecutor has to weigh up not only what he [B]can [/B]charge, but also what Packer was willing to plead guilty to, the likelihood of conviction for the different potential charges if it went to trial and what the public is willing to accept.
