broo what's the difference between homicide and murder they're literally the same thing in italian
Quoting wikipedia here but fuck it:
“Homicides can be divided into many overlapping legal categories, including
murder,
manslaughter,
justifiable homicide, killing in
war,
euthanasia, and
capital punishment...”
“Murder is the most serious crime that can be charged following a homicide. In many jurisdictions, homicide may be punished by
life in prison or even
capital punishment.
[5]Although categories of murder can vary by jurisdiction, murder charges fall under
two broad categories:
- First degree murder: the premeditated, unlawful, intentional killing of another person; and
- Second degree murder: The intentional, unlawful killing of another person, but without any premeditation.
In some jurisdictions, a homicide that occurs during the commission of a dangerous
crimemay constitute murder, regardless of the actor's intent to commit homicide. In the
United States, this is known as the
felony murder rule. In simple terms, under the felony murder rule a person who commits a felony may be guilty of murder if someone dies as a result of the commission of the crime, including the victim of the felony, a bystander or a co-felon, regardless their intent—or lack thereof—to kill, and even when the death results from the actions of a co-defendant or third party who is reacting to the crime.”
TL;DR:
Homicide is a broad scope that results in the death of another but can be for any reason, murder is narrowed down to first and second degree murder which is the intentional, unlawful killing of another (if it’s premeditated then it’s 1st degree, and if it is not premeditated it’s 2nd degree)
