Crystal Mangum legal research.

I was doing a bit of research on murder in the second degree and came across this from the general statutes: NCGS § 14-17(b)(1)The malice necessary to prove second degree murder is based on an inherently dangerous act or omission, done in such a reckless and wanton manner as to manifest a mind utterly without regard for human life and social duty and deliberately bent on mischief. Specifically: "... a mind utterly without regard for human life and social duty and deliberately bent on mischief." I think that phrase well describes Crystal's life up to this point. From stealing taxi cabs, to escorting, to telling lies about the lacrosse team, to setting Milton's clothes alight, to stabbing Reginald Daye, to flirting with the cops after she stabbed him, that is a mind utterly without regard for human life and social duty and deliberately bent on mischief.
