How do defense attorneys approach homicide cases?
Homicide charges – generally categorized as either murder or manslaughter – are some of the strongest criminal charges you can receive under United States law. All are felonies that come with long prison sentences, and prosecutors working on these cases tend to be very experienced.
Whether or not it can be proven that you intended to kill the victim is one key factor in deciding which specific type of crime you’re convicted of.
If intent was involved, you can be convicted either:
- Murder, if you’re proven to have chosen and killed a particular target and/or killed someone else in the process, killed someone while committing another felony or serving a life sentence, killed someone under 14 while committing a sex crime against them, killed someone under 11, killed someone during an act of torture or terror, performed a murder-for-hire, or chose a law enforcement figure as your target.
- Voluntary manslaughter, if the killing wasn’t intentional, but you did intend to harm the person in the “heat of passion,” where your better judgement may reasonably have been impaired
If intent was NOT involved, you can still be convicted of involuntary manslaughter, in which case it must be proven that the victim’s death was a result of your alleged negligent, reckless behavior.
Murder charges, at worst, can result in a life sentence or longer in a state prison. Voluntary manslaughter carries a maximum of 25 years, while involuntary manslaughter carries a maximum of 15 years.
