Degrees of Murder and Punishments

   For committing a horrid crime such as murder, a suitable action must be taken. Law categorizes murder in 2 ways:

1.Murder in the first degree.
2.Murder in the second degree
  -Man slaughter.

     First degree murder is known as planned killing. By this, it means that the murderer took time to plan before he committed the crime. Therefore it is known as unlawful. The punishment for first degree murder is life sentence or death. Most countries have stopped death penalty but it is still practiced.
     Second degree murder is a murder thats stumbled upon or not planned. It is a murder that is lower then that of the first degree. The punishment for the second degree murder is any terms of sentence in jail (from court) or life sentence.
Even lower then second degree murder is man slaughter or sometimes called third degree. Manslaughter is generally a lighter punishment then a second degree murder. Known to be 'Un-intentional.' An example would be a drunk driver who runs over a pedestrian. The manslaughter mentioned is 'involuntary' but there is also 'voluntary' manslaughter. 'Voluntary' manslaughter is like the second degree but instead a normal person killed due to the learning of something. Otherwise, its known as a "passionate" kill.
