      I think for 2nd degree murder the prosecution have to prove malicious intent.

          It’s kinda like premeditated vs a crime of passion. Planning to kill your wife for 3 months is viewed differently than coming home and finding her cheating so you shoot her.

          At least in the US the extenuating circumstances effect the charges significantly.
