Homicide

Homicide is an act of a human killing another human. It includes voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. The charge is determined by the state of mind of the defendant and other circumstances. The charge of murder from other forms of homicide is determined by the premeditated state of mind of the accused and the motives of the case, such as a robbery.

A conviction will result in a long prison sentence, possibly a life sentence.

Due to violent nature of the allegations, these trials require an experienced criminal defense attorney who can manage the complexities of evidence, handle the likely media attention, and deal with a tough prosecutor.
