Manslaughter Charges
A charge of manslaughter can be brought in cases where the death was caused by accidental or reckless behavior. For example, Manslaughter charges may result from a bar fight that results in someone’s death, a car crash that is caused by driving over the speed limit or recklessly, or an altercation between two people that ends with one of them dying.
Murder Charges
Murder charges are more serious than manslaughter charges, as they involve deliberate intent to kill another person. Murder may be charged in cases where the defendant acted with premeditation, had an intent to cause grievous bodily harm or death, or exhibited a reckless disregard for human life.
DUI Terms To Know
First Degree
First-degree murder is a more serious charge and typically involves premeditation or intent to kill. This charge carries the most severe penalty, including life in prison or even the death penalty in some states.
Second Degree
Second-degree murder is less serious than first-degree murder but still carries significant penalties. Second-degree murder cases typically involve reckless or negligent behavior that results in someone’s death.
Voluntary Manslaughter
Voluntary manslaughter is a charge that is brought when the defendant killed another person in the heat of passion, usually in response to an emotional provocation like being attacked by the victim. Voluntary manslaughter carries lighter penalties than other forms of murder or manslaughter.
