Murder in North Dakota law constitutes the intentional killing, under circumstances defined by law, of people within or under the jurisdiction of the U.S. state of North Dakota.
In 1865, this was repealed and "replaced with the code then in use in New York state", under which murder "was not defined by degree and was in all cases to be punishable by death".
[2] This was amended in 1883 to shift the determination of whether the capital punishment was to be imposed from the judge to the jury.
[2] In the 1997 case of State v. Garcia,[3] the state supreme court "upheld life without parole sentence for 16-year-old convicted of murder; the defense presented no mitigating evidence during its sentencing hearing".
