If someone plans ahead of time to kill you and pulls it off, you've been murdered in the first degree. You're just not around to appreciate the charge unless you literally come back to haunt them.

No, I mean noone has ever been like, that asshole nearly murdered me! Because you either are or are not murdered. It's kind of a pass/fail situation.

Heh I get you, but to be pedantic, a lot (if not all) crimes are like that. If you "nearly" do something, you could only be charged for attempting it at most.

Or if you cause a college/university to stop teaching a major, you’ve killed a degree.
