Can someone explain why he is charged with second degree murder? In MN, that's the charge for murder that is NOT premeditated. His list proves pre-meditation. Pre-meditation is top among the group of situations that leads to a charge of murder in the first degree. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

We returned from a dive off Bonaire and were standing at the resort's dock unloading our gear. An older guy was trying out his equipment. He then came up and chatted a while. It was Harrison Ford. He pointed to my two 6'2" sons and said to me, "Yours? I guess you drew the short straw!" 😅
