re: #30 Khal Wimpo (not drinking damn fish tank cleaner)

Depraved indifference isn’t a crime itself - it’s a characterization relating to certain kinds of criminal charges. It goes to the mens rea (the belief of the person carrying out the charge). Depraved indifference goes to recklessness.

Homicide is a general charge, but homicide with depraved indifference may have different elements to be found guilty.
