Murder Cases
Both murder and manslaughter are types of criminal homicide. How your case is classified as a crime is dictated by your intentions at the time of the incident and the particular circumstances surrounding it. Murder is defined as the unlawful killing of another individual with premeditation and malice aforethought. The most serious charge of murder is murder in the first degree. Lesser charges are murder in the second degree, voluntary manslaughter, and involuntary manslaughter. Even if you were involved in an accidental death, you could face felony charges that carry harsh penalties resulting in a criminal record.
