Killing Someone.
Murder is an unlawful act that involves the killing of one individual by another. While the exact definition of the crime varies depending on jurisdiction, the consequences of a murder conviction are severe. In many jurisdictions, the crime of murder is divided into various gradations of severity, e.g., murder in the first degree, based on intent. Malice is a required element of murder. Manslaughter is a lesser variety of killing committed in the absence of malice, brought about by reasonable provocation, or diminished capacity. Involuntary manslaughter, where it is recognized, is a killing that lacks all but the most attenuated guilty intent, recklessness.
