Homicide
If you or someone you know has been charged with homicide, it is essential to seek legal representation immediately.
At Anand Desai Law Firm in San Fernando Valley, California, we understand the gravity and complexity of homicide cases. Each type of homicide carries different penalties and requires different levels of proof from the prosecution.
First-degree murder is the most serious form of homicide, and it is defined as a premeditated and intentional killing. This means that the defendant planned the murder in advance and acted with the intention of causing the victim’s death.
Second-degree murder is also intentional but lacks the premeditation element of first-degree murder.
Voluntary manslaughter occurs when a killing takes place in the heat of passion, which means the defendant acted under a sudden and intense emotional impulse.
Involuntary manslaughter, on the other hand, is unintentional and occurs when the defendant causes the victim’s death while committing a lawful act that might produce death or while committing an unlawful act that is not a felony.
Homicide cases are complicated, and the penalties can be severe, including life imprisonment without the possibility of parole or even the death penalty.
