Murder & Manslaughter
Murder is the unlawful killing of a person with intent to cause death or serious injury. Manslaughter, on the other hand, is a lesser charge where the defendant kills someone but without the intention to cause death. This can happen in cases of reckless actions or loss of control.
Murder:
Involves premeditation and the intentional killing of another person. Sentences for murder can be as severe as life imprisonment.
Manslaughter:
Typically results from situations like unintentional killing due to recklessness or provocation. Sentences are typically less severe than for murder but can still be long.
