Murder
Murder is the premeditated killing of a human being.
Those charged with murder can be convicted if they:
- Have a purposeful intent to kill
- Seek to cause serious bodily injury
- Are indifferent to or do not value human life
- Intend to commit serious crimes such as terrorism
Manslaughter
Manslaughter is a murder committed without premeditation. Manslaughter most often happens in a fit of passion or as an accident. Those charged with manslaughter often have a defense that relies on a lack of intent to kill.
