Prosecutors have given jurors hearing the case against Mohamed Noor multiple options: second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Prosecutors added the second-degree murder charge late last year. Under Minnesota law, second-degree murder involves intentionally causing the death of another person, without premeditation. Second-degree manslaughter requires a finding that the defendant acted with “culpable negligence” in taking the chance of causing death or great bodily harm. ___ Check out the AP’s complete coverage of Mohamed Noor’s trial.
