4. Say Tycho Brahe had just committed a crime. He was apprehended and soon appeared before a judge. Which of the following best describes the crime committed?

Brahe walked into a nuclear missile silo with the intention of being the first man to fire a nuclear weapon at the moon. He made a mistake in his calculations, however, and instead of the moon, the rocket hit New York City. At the trial, Brahe decided to defend himself and didn't employ an attorney. The judge informed him that his method of defense was ludicrous, and that no man could use cannon law in his testimony. Brahe argued the presence of God, but he was found guilty and recieved a life sentence.
One night after drinking too much at a local bar, Brahe began walking home. As he approached a hospital, he removed a small bomb he had created earlier that day. Disgruntled because he had just lost his nose over a math problem, he walked into the hospital and placed the charge. From a safe distance, he detonated the device, rupturing a leak in quarantine. A highly-fatal disease escaped and instantly began killing hundreds of people where they stood. Soon after being taken into custody on terrorism charges, a cure was developed and the disease quickly disappeared.
As Brahe was writing notes of his observations, his children were playing noisely in the other room. Not obeying their father's demand to cease and desist, Brahe got an idea. He walked into the kitchen, brought a pot of water to boil, and called his kids to dinner. When they came, he picked them up and put them in the scalding liquid. Later, after the painful screams had ended, he sat down to eat children stew.
When Brahe arrived home one evening, he discovered a large section of his notes had been stolen. He suspected the maid, Veronica Lynewski, as the perpetrator, because she was the only other person who had a key to the house. "If she reveals those notes to the press," Brahe quickly worried, "I'll be finished!" He dashed to her house where he found her faxing the notes to the Weekly World News. He grabbed a kitchen knife and took care of Veronica, disconnected the fax machine, and rushed his precious notes of his wild fantasies with Janet Reno home.
