The state Sid lives in separate homicides into first and second-degree murder, voluntary and involuntary manslaughter and felony murder. Sid should be charged with:
- Voluntary Manslaughter because it was committed in the heat of passion and with provocation.
- First Degree Murder because it was premedicated and deliberate murder.
- Felony Murder
- Second Degree Murder because it was not premedicated.

- First Degree Murder because it was premedicated and deliberate murder.
- Felony Murder
- Assault with a deadly weapon.
