Definition of malice prepense

Malice prepense, also known as malice aforethought, is a legal term used to describe the mental state required for common-law murder. It refers to the intention or recklessness of the perpetrator to cause harm or death to another person.

There are four types of malice aforethought:

  1. The intent to kill
  2. The intent to inflict grievous bodily harm
  3. Extremely reckless indifference to the value of human life
  4. The intent to commit a dangerous felony

For example, if someone plans and carries out a murder, they have malice prepense. If someone is driving under the influence and causes a fatal accident, they may also be charged with malice prepense due to their reckless indifference to human life.

It's important to note that not all intentional killings are considered malice prepense. If the killing is justified, excused, or mitigated, malice prepense does not apply.
