that's not what your source says.

the full definition requires an act. you cherry picked one ambiguously worded section.

In United States law, depraved-heart murder, also known as depraved-indifference murder, is a type of murder where an individual acts with a "depraved indifference" to human life and where such acts result in a death, despite that individual not explicitly intending to kill. In a depraved-heart murder, defendants commit an act even though they know their act runs an unusually high risk of causing death or serious bodily harm to a person. If the risk of death or bodily harm is great enough, ignoring it demonstrates a "depraved indifference" to human life and the resulting death is considered to have been committed with malice aforethought.

why wouldn't you show the whole paragraph?

no, you don't need to accept it.

but they have no responsibility for the circumstances.

you can't murder through inaction, unless words don't mean anything.

but some of them choose to become murderers

the whole damn trolley problem thing

doesn't have an answer. it's a thought experiment to expose your personal ethics. deontologists never touch the switch.
