Homicide and Murder Laws in Kalamazoo

There are three distinct offenses that relate to the killing of another person, in addition to situation-specific offenses like vehicular homicide. These three offenses are covered under Section 750.316, which deals with first degree murder, Section 750.317 dealing with second degree murder, and Section 750.321, which covers manslaughter.

First degree murder is the most serious homicide offense, and deals with premeditated murders, murders of police or corrections officers, and murders committed during the course of committing another serious crime, such as rape.

Second degree murder covers all other murders, excluding manslaughter, vehicular homicide, and the few other offenses for which specific legislation exists.

Manslaughter is the charge for anyone who kills another person without premeditated intent, and can be involuntary (accidental), or voluntary, meaning intentional in the heat of the moment.

No matter what specific charge you are facing, you need to get in touch with a lawyer right away. Contact our defense attorneys now and let us begin guiding you through your case.
