but homicide isn't defined by intent, but actions or lack of actions
Soooooo....why exactly do we have First Degree Homicide, Second Degree Homicide, Manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter etc etc....?
as I understand it
Homicide is the generic term to describe when one person kills another person, regardless if it was intentional, unintentional, pre-meditated or not-pre-meditated. Murder, however, deals with the malicious intent to commit a killing.
could be wrong but that is my understanding
have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings
