Third as far as damage goes, first and second regarding the intensity of pain involved.

It depends on the statute and how it is written.
Generally, a first degree crime is worse than a second or third degree version. That's a common approach, but it's not mandated anywhere.
Each state is free to define its own laws however it likes. Many don't use degrees, but have different names for each different version.

First degree - pre-meditated murder (planned)
Second degree - heat of the moment (impulse)
Third degree - manslaughter (unintentional)
Now, YOU answer the question.
(First degree is the worst. . .)
