A quick definition of lying in wait:

Term: Lying in Wait

Definition: Lying in wait is when someone plans to hurt or kill another person by hiding and waiting for them to come by. This is a very serious crime because it shows that the person planned to hurt or kill the other person on purpose. If someone is found guilty of lying in wait, they can get a longer punishment.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Lying in wait is a criminal act that involves watching, waiting for, and hiding from someone with the intention of causing them serious harm or killing them. This act shows premeditation and deliberation, which can result in a more severe punishment.

  • A man hides behind a tree and waits for his ex-girlfriend to walk by so he can attack her.
  • A group of robbers wait outside a bank for the employees to leave so they can break in and steal the money.

These examples illustrate how lying in wait involves planning and waiting for the right moment to carry out a harmful act. It is a serious crime that can result in severe consequences for the perpetrator.
