California Murder Charges

Murder is defined as the unlawful killing of another, with malice aforethought. Malice aforethought refers to the criminal intent or state of mind of the perpetrator, including the knowledge that the act is illegal and may cause the death of another. Murder may also include an accidental death that occurs during the commission of a felony offense (covered under the felony murder rule in California). Depending upon the particular circumstances of the offense, a defendant may face first degree or second degree murder charges.

The death penalty may be enforced if a defendant commits first degree murder, murders a law enforcement officer or if the murder is a hate crime. First degree murder is best defined as the premeditated (planned) and deliberate murder of another.
