The Criminal Code reserves some of the strictest penalties in Canada for convictions of murder and manslaughter. As penalties upon conviction are potentially quite severe, it is essential that your defence is focused and unrelenting.
Murder can be in the first-degree or the second-degree. First-degree murder is a deliberate, pre-meditated act. Other scenarios that can give rise to a charge of first-degree murder include: contracted killings; a murder that happens while committing, or attempting to commit, a sexual assault; a murder that happens during a hostage taking; and a murder committed in conjunction with other crimes. Second-degree murder is any intentional killing that is not deemed first-degree. Manslaughter is the charge that is a laid when someone’s culpability in someone’s death cannot be defined as a murder. It is a lesser charge than murder.
