This document appears to be a page from a book manuscript or legal memoir (page 176) discussing the US Supreme Court case *Tison v. Arizona*. The author (narrating in the first person) describes their reaction to Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's majority opinion, initially believing they had won based on the Court's acceptance that the Tison brothers did not intend to kill. The text analyzes the legal definitions of 'intent to kill' versus 'reckless indifference' in the context of the death penalty and the felony-murder rule.
