Some Questions

[Ever Student]

I have a lot of questions on criminal expressions. Can you please help me out?
-What's the meaning of First-degree murder?
-"He was tricket into blaming a freind for doing sth"?
- Would it be replaced "establishing" with "putting" himself as an accomplice?

- Is "he recanted his confession" similar to the meaning of "he confessed"?

- What's difference between "he was found culpable" and "he was held culpable"? If there is not any differences, please give me more similar meaning for those phrases.

- Does it make sense if one says that " he had been a stereotype as a lair?

- Does "Nobody raised an eyebrow over sth" mean that "nobody wondered for sth''


Thanks in advance

-What's the meaning of First-degree murder?

"In most [US] states, first-degree murder is defined as an unlawful killing that is both willful and premeditated, meaning that it was committed after planning or "lying in wait" for the victim.
For example, Dan comes home to find his wife in bed with Victor. Three days later, Dan waits behind a tree near Victor's front door. When Victor comes out of the house, Dan shoots and kills him."

Other degrees are 2nd degree murder, and voluntary manslaughter, which are lesser degrees of homocide.


-"He was tricked into blaming a friend for doing sth"?
His friend didn't do it. But someone got him to say his friend did it, by using some form of trick.

- Would it be replaced "establishing" with "putting" himself as an accomplice?
Not sure. What's the sentence?

- Is "he recanted his confession" similar to the meaning of "he confessed"?
No; it's the opposite. It means he took back his confession. He might claim that he only confessed under torture or police harrassment.

- What's difference between "he was found culpable" and "he was held culpable"? If there is not any differences, please give me more similar meaning for those phrases.
They're pretty much the same. He was found responsible. It was found that he did it.

- Does it make sense if one says that " he had been a stereotype as a lair?
"He had been stereotyped as a liar." Whichever side he wasn't witnessing for depicted him as a liar.

- Does "Nobody raised an eyebrow over sth" mean that "nobody wondered about sth''
It means that no one gave any sign of being concerned about it.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thanks so much for giving your answer; I have learned a lot.

Here is the original sentence you asked me:

"Danny was tricked into blaming a friend for the liquidation of his sister's husband, thereby establishing himself as an accomplice."

I asked if we can use "putting himself as an accomplice"?

No, 'putting' is wrong. You could say, "making himself an accomplice".

No, 'putting' is wrong. You could say, "making himself an accomplice".

O I get it. Thanks.
