The bulk of the story is an account of the first murder in the history of the universe, before even Cain and Abel, recounted in first-person hardboiled detective fiction style by Raguel, the angel who investigated it.
In a frame narrative, the angel is shown to be telling the story to a young man in 20th-century Los Angeles, for reasons which escape the young man but which gradually become clear to the reader as the story progresses.
The depiction of the angels and their city is similar to the depiction in Gaiman's earlier The Sandman series of the Silver City and its angelic inhabitants, but there is nothing to say that the two are the same.

 Massachusetts Murder Defense - Murder- First Degree
This description of the perpetrator's state of mind basically means that he or she had an intent to inflict injury without legal justification or excuse (legal justification included such defenses as self-defense, while excuse includes mental illness and duress).

The second category of murder in the first degree is murder committed with extreme atrocity or cruelty.

Murder in the First is another example of a movie that strays from historical reality to create a more dramatically-appealing product.
However, Murder in the First is as much an indictment of the penal system as an account of one man's fight against a first degree murder rap, and that's where the picture's strength lies.
Instead, Murder in the First is an unrelenting look at the dehumanizing effects of prison life, and what can happen when power is abused.
