NY Penal L § 125.22 (2012) What's This?
 
  § 125.22 Aggravated manslaughter in the first degree.
    A  person  is  guilty  of  aggravated manslaughter in the first degree
  when:
    1. with intent to cause serious physical injury to a police officer or
  peace officer, where such officer was in the course of performing his or
  her official duties and the defendant knew  or  reasonably  should  have
  known  that  such  victim was a police officer or a peace officer, he or
  she causes the death of such officer or another police officer or  peace
  officer; or
    2.  with  intent  to  cause  the  death  of  a police officer or peace
  officer, where such officer was in the course of performing his  or  her
  official  duties  and the defendant knew or reasonably should have known
  that such victim was a police officer or peace officer, he or she causes
  the death of such officer or another police  officer  or  peace  officer
  under  circumstances  which  do  not constitute murder because he or she
  acts under the influence of extreme emotional disturbance, as defined in
  paragraph (a) of subdivision  one  of  section  125.25.  The  fact  that
  homicide   was  committed  under  the  influence  of  extreme  emotional
  disturbance constitutes a mitigating  circumstance  reducing  murder  to
  aggravated manslaughter in the first degree or manslaughter in the first
  degree  and  need  not be proved in any prosecution initiated under this
  subdivision.
    Aggravated manslaughter in the first degree is a class B felony.
