Overview of California Murder Charges

Murder is charged under Penal Code 187(a) pc making it unlawful to kill another person with malice aforethought. Murder differs from manslaughter based upon either a calculated mind set to kill or if certain aggravating circumstances are present. There are two degrees of murder: first-degree murder can be proven by a defendant harboring premeditation and deliberation or if a death results from the commission of an inherently dangerous felony. All other forms of murder is murder in the second-degree.
