OKLAHOMA CITY HOMICIDE ATTORNEY

AN ADVOCATE WITH OVER 20 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

A homicide charge may be the most serious charge one can face, and so an attorney experienced in these cases is both crucial and an immediate necessity. Homicide cases have the potential to be punished more harshly in Oklahoma, which is why you need the firm of Jason Spanich, PC, fighting for your rights.

Additionally, murder can be subcategorized as either first-degree or second-degree.

FIRST- AND SECOND- DEGREE MURDER IN OKLAHOMA

One of the most serious crimes listed in Oklahoma’s criminal code is first-degree murder, which can potentially be punished by death. In this case, it must be determined that the perpetrator had malice aforethought, meaning they deliberately and unlawfully intended to kill the victim. In Oklahoma, there are other situations where murder may be classified as first-degree.

Second degree murder could be applicable to cases where the killing is done by an act that is imminently dangerous to another person, though done without premeditation. It also may apply to situations when a killing is committed by a person engaged in a felony.
