Legal TermsSlide7
First-degree murder is killing a person with malice of forethought; the killing was planed. It was done deliberately.
Second-degree murder
is
killing
someone
during a crime deemed dangerous to a human life. The crime was most likely not committed with the intention of killing.
Legal TermsSlide8
Voluntary manslaughter is killing someone intentionally but without malice of forethought. For example, if the killing was a crime of passion (killing a spouse or lover because of jealousy), the intention was to kill; however, there was no malice of forethought because it was not planned.
Involuntary manslaughter is killing someone unlawfully but without malice of forethought. It was committed without intent to kill and without conscious disregard for human life.
