What Is Murder in California?

Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought. In California, murder is split into two categories, violent murder and non-violent murder.

In either case, murder is punishable by:

  • Life in prison without the possibility of parole (LWOP)
  • The death penalty

The punishment for murder varies depending on the circumstances of the case. For example, murder committed in the course of a robbery or burglary is punishable by life without parole. If the murder was committed in the course of another felony, the punishment is 25 years to life in prison. If the murder was committed in the course of a special circumstance, the punishment may be life without parole or the death penalty.

Types of Murder in California

Murder is a very serious crime in the state of California. If you are convicted of murder, you will face severe penalties, including the death penalty or life in prison without parole. In order to be convicted of murder, the prosecutor must prove that you are guilty of one of the categories of murder in California.

These categories are:

  • First-degree murder
  • Second-degree murder
  • Voluntary manslaughter
  • Involuntary manslaughter

First-degree murder is the most serious category. It includes murder that was committed with special circumstances, such as murder during a robbery, murder of a police officer, murder of a witness to a crime, or murder of a child under the age of 14. If you are convicted of first-degree murder, you will face the harshest penalties. A conviction of first-degree murder can include life in prison without parole or the death penalty.

Hear From Our Past Clients
    “Leave your worries behind”
    I was very worried about my case which was an old case that Dennis Kuntz took care of perfectly. He keeps in contact and really put me at ease. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is lucky enough to have him.
    - Jennifer
    “My experience with Mr. Kuntz was a breath of fresh air, and I would definitely recommend hiring a dedicated, genuine attorney like him.”
    Mr. Kuntz was professional and very helpful. Whenever I needed clarification, he was always available to answer my questions. I appreciated the fact that I wasn't being considered just another client, but a person who truly needed counsel. When dealing my first DUi in 2004, I hired a "Big Shot" attorney to handle my case. I was highly overcharged, and had many confusing ordeals which felt unnecessary. I was not satisfied to say the least, and felt like I got robbed. My experience with Mr. Kuntz was a breath of fresh air, and I would definitely recommend hiring a dedicated, genuine attorney like him.
    - Riley
    “Mr. Kuntz handled my case professionally and kept me informed of my options from start to finish.”
    Mr. Kuntz handled my case professionally and kept me informed of my options from start to finish. Made me feel comfortable knowing I was in good hands. More than satisfied with the outcome.
    - Tom
    “We felt very confident with Mr. Kuntz, and appreciated the lengths he would go to for our case.”
    We felt very confident with Mr. Kuntz, and appreciated the lengths he would go to for our case. When information was confusing, he was very clear about the next step, and what results to expect. He never made us feel like we weren't a priority. Not to mention, we received the absolute BEST possible outcome in our situation. Needless to say, we were very satisfied.
    - Denise
    “If you ever find yourself needing a , hard working, loyal, compassionate lawyer, I definitely recommend Dennis.”
    I had really gotten myself into serious, felonious trouble. Looking at 3 to 5 state prison time. I cannot say enough about how dedicated Dennis was to me and my situation. Not often do you feel like someone who doesn't know you at all, really CARES about you, and what he can do for you. Not once did Dennis give up on getting me the best possible outcome to my case. It's obvious that Dennis loves what he does, will go the extra mile to work hard and really WANT the best for you. I will forever be grateful that I retained Dennis for my case. Because of his hard work, relationships with the court, and his overall passion for what he does, I will be able to get a job, be able to vote, and get on with my life with no jail time, and a misdemeanor rather than a felon on my record. If you ever find yourself needing a , hard working, loyal, compassionate lawyer, I definitely recommend Dennis.
