My thought, too, when I read it. "
Second-degree?" Although at that moment I didn't remember exactly what it meant.
However, the issue seems to be whether there is enough evidence or not to prove a first-degree murder.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
