Yes...if that were the case, which it isn't.


Well, which is it then? Is "murder" defined at the state level or not?

Yes.




They don't...which is why the United STATES is compriased of the various
"states" (small 's').


How can small s states have jurisdiction over something they don't even
define?

They do define it.




You don't know what the term "state" means, what the term "murder"
means,
or
what the legal definition of "human being" means either.


Can you provide the definitions?

Black's Law Dictionary, which I already referred you to. (I'm not about to
transcribe 20 pages if you insist on using terms from your minister (?),
rather than from your lawyer).
