Nigger, homicide and manslaughter are both forms of murder and are considered murder charges, which is why those dumbfuck "lawyers" are calling them "murder charges".
Murder is a layman's term for killing someone illegally. Homicide and Manslaughter are the legal terms to specifically define elements of the crime and for punishment.
Specifically, "when a person, of sound memory and discretion, unlawfully kills any reasonable creature in being and under the king's peace, with malice aforethought, either express or implied.
The elements of common law murder are:
unlawful killing through criminal act or omission of a human by another human with malice aforethought."
Blackstone's
"Homicide" is any death caused by another person. "Homo" meaning "man" (as in homo-sapiens). "Cide" from "cida", meaning killing.
The term refers to ANY act of a human killing another, and can be accidental, negligent, reckless, justified, etc.
If someone dies from someone else's actions, no matter what the intent, justification, or punishment (or lack thereof), that's homicide. Murder is INTENTIONAL homicide with malice, further divided into either premeditated or not premeditated. Homicide is the ACT, murder is the CHARGE when the homicide is claimed to be unlawful and/or unjustified.
But homicide on its own does NOT equate to murder. Killing someone in self-defense is homicide, but it is NOT murder.
Hebcs, that call for dropping the murder charges.
And, my questioning about the 2 counts of murder charges.
murder
with malice
Then;
manslaughter
without malice
Just manslaughter yourself faggot.
Alright. You win. My mistake.
What is common parlance.
You can call them out for lack of wit in the moment, but if you have trouble discerning what they meant.... start your own youtube channel.
