Where an individual under circumstances evincing a depraved indifference to human life, recklessly engaged in conduct which created a grave risk of death to another person, and thereby caused the death of another person.
Depraved-heart murder is the form of murder that establishes that the willful doing of a dangerous and reckless act with wanton indifference to the consequences and perils involved, is just as blameworthy, and just as worthy of punishment, when the harmful result ensues, as is the express intent to kill itself. This highly blameworthy state of mind is not one of mere negligence…. It is not merely one even of gross criminal negligence…. It involves rather the deliberate perpetration of a knowingly dangerous act with reckless and wanton unconcern and indifference as to whether anyone is harmed or not. The common law treats such a state of mind as just as blameworthy, just as anti-social and, therefore, just as truly murderous as the specific intents to kill and to harm.

Why Marilyn Mosby’s Comments on Freddie Gray Matter
The Baltimore state’s attorney gave a much more forceful case for justice
than her counterparts in Ferguson, Cleveland, and New York City.

MARYLAND’S ATTORNEY GENERAL’S INDICTMENT IS A HISTORICAL EVENT.
BALTIMORE’S STATE ATTORNEY, MARILYN MOSBY IS MY NEW HEROINE: DEFINITIVE, CLEAR, FORCEFUL.
THE EMBEDDED AMERICAN MASK of RACIAL BIAS + DENIAL HAS NOW ONCE AGAIN BEEN RIPPED OFF.
POLICE ASSAULT WITHOUT FINGERPRINTS.
HALLELUJAH- A DEPRAVED + DISTORTED MORAL COMPASS HAS BEEN DISCLOSED.
A CULTURAL PARADIGM SHIFT OF NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS HAS OCCURRED
AFTER CENTURIES OF DENIAL + INSISTENT BLINDNESS + COMPLICITY
OF THE DOMINANT CULTURE.
ONCE AGAIN JUSTICE MAY BE SERVED WITH AUTHENTIC JUSTICE
AND EQUALITY FOR ALL.
THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEACEFUL PROTESTORS FOR STEPPING UP AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN…
TRUTH RISES LIKE THE LOTUS.
