WPIC 30.01 Aggravated First Degree Murder—Definition
(No instruction is set forth.)
COMMENT
The WPI Committee has set forth no definition of aggravated first degree murder. Several sections of RCW Chapter 10.95 refer to the crime of “aggravated first degree murder.” See RCW 10.95.030, 10.95.040, 10.95.050. It is not clear, however, whether aggravated first degree murder is a separate crime, or an aggravated form of the crime of first degree murder. In different contexts, it has been characterized as both. For a more detailed discussion, see WPIC 30.00 (Aggravated First Degree Murder—Introduction).
