Convictions - 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree?

What is

first degree?
second degree?
third degree?

Answers:
Basically describing level of involvement, premeditation, and intent in a crime. The following would be an example in a killing crime:

First degree murder - the intentional killing of another person (1) with premeditation, (2) in the furtherance of another serious criminal offense (kidnapping, robbery, etc.), or (3) where the victim is an identified peace officer

Second degree murder - the intentional killing of another person without premeditation (i.e. killing in the heat of the moment). Formerly, certain types of killings were also deemed to be murder, regardless of lack of intent (eg. where death was caused in the course of committing of a serious crime, such as sexual assault). However, these so-called "constructive" murder provisions have, by and large, been repealed or struck down on constitutional grounds.

Manslaughter - the killing of another person where there is no intent to kill
