IntroductionMost states have four basic types of murder: first degree murder, second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter. Grading murder into first and second degree is important because in some states only first-degree (or capital) murders qualify for the death penalty (or prison for life without parole in states without the death penalty). Second degree murder is typically an unpremeditated but intentional killing. Many jurisdictions also have criminal homicide statutes that address killings while the defendant was driving a vehicle or operating a boat while intoxicated.
