Second-degree murder is defined as an intentional killing that was not planned or premeditated, but occurred in the heat of the moment or as a result of extreme emotional disturbance. First-degree murder is a premeditated and planned killing, while spree murder involves multiple killings in different locations over a short period of time. Serial murder is the killing of multiple victims over an extended period with a cooling-off period between each murder.
