Watch the movie: Anatomy of Murder

Full Answer Section

• Manslaughter: This is a less serious crime than murder, and it is typically defined as the unlawful killing of another person without malice aforethought. Manslaughter can be voluntary or involuntary. Voluntary manslaughter is committed in the heat of passion, while involuntary manslaughter is accidental.
• Justifiable homicide: This is the killing of another person that is considered lawful. There are a few different justifications for homicide, such as self-defense, defense of others, and the execution of a lawful sentence.

Sample Answer

• First-degree murder: This is the most serious type of homicide, and it is typically defined as the intentional killing of another person with malice aforethought. Malice aforethought can be premeditation or intent to kill.
• Second-degree murder: This is also a serious crime, but it does not require premeditation or intent to kill. Second-degree murder is often called "heat of passion" murder, because it is committed in the moment, without time for reflection.
