Understanding the Seriousness of Homicide Charges

Being accused of homicide in Arizona can be life-altering, with the possibility of lengthy prison sentences, permanent damage to one’s reputation, and the emotional toll on everyone involved. Navigating these charges requires a skilled attorney who understands the nuances of Arizona’s legal system.

Types of Homicide Cases We Defend Against:

  • Murder / Felony Murder:
    Charges involving intentional killing or deaths occurring during the commission of certain felonies, even if unintentional. These cases are often prosecuted aggressively, with severe penalties, including life imprisonment.

  • Second-Degree Murder:
    Accusations of intentional but impulsive killing, without premeditation. Despite being a lesser charge than first-degree murder, it carries significant consequences if convicted.

  • Manslaughter:
    Charges involving the unintentional killing of another person due to reckless or negligent actions. Voluntary manslaughter (committed in the heat of passion) and involuntary manslaughter (due to careless behavior) fall under this category.

  • Negligent Homicide:
    Allegations of causing someone’s death through criminal negligence. While this is the least severe homicide charge, it still carries serious legal consequences.
