Bronx Manslaughter In The First Degree
If you have been charged with Manslaughter in the First Degree, it is crucial to analyze all reports and evidence involved in your case. New York Penal Law Section 125.20 defines Manslaughter in the First Degree as follows:
Intending to cause “serious physical injury” to another which causes
the death of another person.
This is a lesser offense than Murder in the Second Degree which requires the intent to kill. In other words, the difference lies within the person’s mind. Murder requires an intent to kill were as Manslaughter only requires an intent to cause serious physical injury.
Additionally, under Manslaughter in the First Degree is what is typically known as the heat of passion defense. This is when with intent to cause the death of another person, he causes the death of such person or of a third person under circumstances which do not constitute murder because he acts under the influence of extreme emotional disturbance. For example, a husband catches his wife in bed with another man. He suffers an extreme emotional disturbance which mitigates the offense down from a Murder to Manslaughter in the First Degree.
Bronx Manslaughter in the Second Degree
If you have been charged with Manslaughter in the Second Degree, it’s crucial to establish a case around the circumstances leading up to the event. New York Penal Law Section 125.15 defines Manslaughter in the Second Degree as follows:
A person is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree when: 1. He recklessly causes the death of another person; or 2. He commits upon a female an abortional act which causes her death, unless such abortional act is justifiable pursuant to subdivision three of section 125.05; or 3. He intentionally causes or aids another person to commit suicide. Manslaughter in the second degree is a class C felony.
