Homicide

Homicide is the comprehensive term used to describe an act or omission that results in killing another human being. Not all killing is a crime. There are non-criminal homicides, such as killing in self defense (under certain circumstances), unintentional killing in a hunting accident or death resulting from a car accident where no reckless driving was involved. However, murder and manslaughter are both criminal homicides. Murder is an intentional, malicious killing of another person, and manslaughter while it may be intentional or unintentional, does not involve the malice of murder. There are various degrees manslaughter and there are various degrees of murder based on intent and deliberation. Felony murder is killing that occurs during the commission of another serious felony. The most severe degrees of homicide carry sentences of life in prison or the death penalty.
