Statistical evidence is not to be taken lightly, though it is not a 100% certain progression in each instance. Amazing that criminology has progressed where there is enough data to point to likely conclusions. I don't see why repeated blows to the head, for instance, don't support the same progression to murder. The intent seems clear in that method of assault too.
