Daytona Beach Murder Lawyer

Aggressive Defense Against Murder Charges

Murder is the crime of intentionally killing another person. Anybody accused of murder will face either first degree murder charges or murder charges of the second degree. First degree murder is a more serious offense, as it is premeditated, which means the defendant took some kind of action to plan the murder with malice aforethought. Second degree murder charges will be brought against a person who kills another due to extreme negligence or disregard for human life.
