Types of Murder Charges
There are several types of charges in these cases. Murder is a criminal
act in which a person intentionally kills another person with no justification
or valid excuse such as self-defense. There is more than one degree of
murder. First-degree murder is the act of murder in which the homicide
has been planned or premeditated. It is a very serious offense and considered
more heinous as the defendant actually planned to take another person's
life without excuse. Second-degree murder is a lesser charge in which
a person has taken another person's life during an attack that had
not been planned, without intent to kill, or due to committing reckless
acts that resulted in the death of another individual. Your life is at
risk if you are convicted of first-degree murder. The death penalty is
a possibility in the state of California.
