Understanding Homicide and Vehicular Homicide Charges


Homicide cases involve the unlawful death of another person, and these charges can vary in degree—from manslaughter to first-degree murder—depending on the circumstances. Vehicular homicide, often arising from accidents involving reckless driving or impaired conduct, is another serious offense that can lead to felony charges.

Key considerations in these cases include:

  • Intent: Legal intent plays a critical role in differentiating between charges such as manslaughter, second-degree, and first-degree murder.
  • State of Mind: Was the action reckless, unintentional, or deliberate? Each state applies its standards, and a rigorous analysis can often reduce charges.
  • Evidentiary Challenges: Questionable evidence, unreliable witness testimony, or procedural errors can significantly impact a case.

When you partner with Nadel & Grasso Law, we meticulously delve into every detail of your case to uncover possible defenses. Representation begins with a comprehensive review of the evidence, considering factors such as police procedures, forensic analysis, and eyewitness accounts.
