    IIRC NY is a transfer of intent state, that is to say if you intended to kill X person but fucked up and killed Y person instead, you’re still guilty of 1st degree murder, because you still intended to do a murder

      That’s a cool tidbit to know. What did it have to do with this story? Where did the transfer take place?
