Binghamton Homicide Defense Lawyers

Providing Ferocious Protection for Your Rights & Freedom

Murder is a crime that is punishable in every single state. Most prosecutors push for the maximum sentence in these cases, as they want to see justice for the individual who died. If you are facing any type of homicide charge, then it's absolutely essential that you hire a lawyer to represent you. Nobody should go through a murder trial alone, especially since they could end up with the death penalty or charges that are extremely severe.

Although there are a lot of factors that determine what happens for each person facing murder charges, the consequences are all life-changing. To put this in perspective, being convicted of first degree murder or even second degree murder could result in the death penalty, up to 25 years of prison, or life in prison without parole.

Jackson Bergman, LLP is here to help. Call our homicide defense attorneys at (607) 367-7055 today to schedule your free consultation.

Types of Homicide Charges

Homicide is a broad term that includes a variety of criminal offenses in Broome County. Some of the most common offenses include:

2nd Degree Manslaughter

This is a situation where a person causes the death of someone else while they were in commission of another crime. This is different from murder because the killing wouldn't have been premeditated or carried out with malice.

1st Degree Manslaughter

When someone unintentionally causes the death of another person, even though they only had the intention of causing physical injury, they can be charged with this. This charge may also be the result of killing a third party when trying to commit the murder of a different person.

Aggravated Criminally Negligent Homicide

This charge is the result of a peace office or police officer dying while performing their official duties as the result of a person's carelessness, indifference, or recklessness.

If someone premeditated the murder of another person, then they can be charged with this.
