What is Murder?
Under California law, murder is defined as the unlawful killing of another human being with malice aforethought. Malice can be either:
- Express malice: when there is a deliberate intention to unlawfully take someone’s life.
- Implied malice: when someone acts with reckless disregard for human life, knowing their actions could result in death.
Murder is classified into different degrees, each carrying its own penalties:
- First-degree murder: A premeditated and deliberate killing, or a killing that occurs during the commission of certain felonies (known as felony murder).
- Second-degree murder: An intentional killing that was not premeditated or planned in advance but still carried out with malice.
Both first- and second-degree murder charges are prosecuted aggressively in California courts and can lead to lengthy prison sentences, including life imprisonment.
