Vista Homicide Defense Lawyer
Murder, Manslaughter, & Vehicular Manslaughter Defense
Murder is the unlawful, unjustified, intentional killing of a human being. Manslaughter is an unlawful killing of a human without intent to kill. Vehicular homicide — also called vehicular manslaughter — means unlawfully killing another person with a vehicle without intent to kill. These crimes are legally complex with potentially severe penalties. Murder may be punished with a long prison sentence, possibly life in prison, or the death penalty. Manslaughter or attempted murder may be punished with a prison sentence or probation.
Because the penalties are severe with murder and manslaughter charges, it is imperitive to obtain an experienced Vista, CA murder or manslaughter defense attorney as soon as possible. If you’ve been arrested on homicide, murder or manslaughter charges, it is important not to talk to anyone including law enforcement until you have an attorney present who fully understands your rights and can guide you through the process.
