Houston Criminal Attorney
Murder
If convicted of murder in Houston, it is likely that you will spend the rest of your life in prison. The consequences of this crime are second to none. Sentencing for murder will be based on several variables including the use of weapons, whether or not the murder was planned, and the criminal record of the accused. Anyone facing a murder charge needs the best representation possible for the chance to avoid a long prison sentence.
Murder charges fall into various degrees of how the crime was committed. The first and most serious is First Degree Murder and involves premeditation or planning the crime.
Murder in the Second Degree is harming someone in the heat of the moment such as a fight without planning on the victim dying. This shows a lack of care for someone’s life through dangerous behavior.
An accidental murder that occurs from some form of criminal negligence like a DUI is called involuntary manslaughter. Voluntary manslaughter is intentionally killing someone without a previous plan or premeditation to kill.
