There are basically
two types of homicide;
murder
and
manslaughter.
There are varying degrees of murder and manslaughter
which also differ in the severity of the sentencing guidelines. The
type homicide and variation of either murder or
manslaughter you are arraigned and tried in court for depends
upon the circumstances of the homicide and the evidence
obtained or acquired by law enforcement.
Felony Murder Charges
A felony murder
occurs when their is an unlawful killing of a human being.
Felony murder charges are usually charged when premeditation
exists or the death of the victim occurred during the course of
another criminal act. Contrary to popular belief, in the State
of Florida, motive does not have to be proven in order to obtain
a conviction in a felony murder case, just that the accused
committed the murder. The degree of a felony murder charge may
be: 1st degree murder, 2nd degree murder, or 3rd degree
murder... 1st degree murder being the more serious offense
which, if convicted, carries a life sentence or the death
penalty.
Felony Manslaughter Charges
A felony
manslaughter occurs when the negligence, carelessness, or
recklessness of an individual results in the death of another.
In a felony manslaughter charge, premeditation or intent does
not exist. Although a manslaughter conviction could result in
lengthy prison time, a felony manslaughter criminal charge is
not subject to the death penalty.
Basically, a
felony manslaughter is a homicide without intent and absence of
specific types of criminal acts which would make the death of a
person a murder charge. The degree of a felony manslaughter
charge may be: 1st degree manslaughter, 2nd degree manslaughter,
or 3rd degree manslaughter... 1st degree manslaughter being the
more serious offense.
