Sidney Dunlap · Answer 1

In both cases, Paul commits a wrongful death, which the intention of taking the life of both exists

Explanation:

Paul's conviction depends on the degree of alcohol or blood drugs (if it contained it), the country where he lives and the laws that determine that conviction, and also the number of stabbings given and bullets used, the more damage suffered in the victim, it is considered that less was an act of anger and more the desire to murder the person, therefore greater guilt.
