Lisa hates Katya and wants to kill her, though she has nothing against Katya’s husband, Jim. Lisa decides to kill Katya by blowing up her home. (Lisa likes to be dramatic.) Lisa plants a powerful bomb in Katya’s home and then waits for Katya to arrive home. After watching Katya and Jim walk into their home together around 9:00 p.m., Lisa sets off the bomb. It kills both Katya and Jim. It also kills their teenage son, Garth, who is in his bedroom working on homework at the time. Lisa knew that Katya and Jim had a son and realized that he might be home, but she didn’t know if he was actually home and did not try to find out if he was home because she didn’t care about him one way or another. As it turned out, there was also a burglar in the home, who had just broken in through the back door and was about to steal a family computer. The burglar was also killed in the blast.  Under the State’s traditional common-law definition of “murder” as the “intentional killing of another person without justification or excuse,” how many people has Lisa murdered?
