Homicide

Basic Information

Homicide is the act of killing a human being. It includes the crimes of Murder and Manslaughter, as well as non-criminal killings such as those covered by the self-defense plea, the insanity defense, or homicide committed under duress.

Suicide is not generally considered a criminal form of homicide, but prior to 1870, felo-de-se was.

• Sometimes, figuring out whether or not a killing was actually murder is as important as figuring out who did it, and how.
