Homicide is defined as the killing of one person, by another person. If you have been charged with murder or homicide in California, you are facing very serious legal consequences and should hire aggressive legal representation immediately, especially if you have been falsely accused. A homicide conviction may result in a life sentence or even a death sentence, which are both devastating judgments.

There are a variety of different types of homicide, such as:

Criminal homicide - An intentional homicide, including murder, voluntary manslaughter, and criminal negligence resulting in involuntary manslaughter.

Excusable homicide - A homicide that resulted from an accident that is able to be defended in a court of law. Due to the fact that no laws are broken in this situation, this type of homicide is excusable.

Justifiable homicide - Non criminal homicide that requires proof that the victim's death did not result from a criminal act. Self defense is an example of justifiable homicide.

Depending upon the circumstances of your case, you may be facing an additional sentence or the death penalty. The following crimes carry with them the death sentence in California:

• Destructive murder
• Murder of a Judge or police officer
• Murder related to a religious or hate crime
