John McWilliam, PLLC · Service

Murder and Manslaughter

Defense in homicide cases, where the charge level turns on intent and circumstance.

Back to the John McWilliam, PLLC brand hub

What This Covers

Homicide charges in North Carolina are graded, and the grade turns on the mental state alleged and the circumstances in which a death occurred rather than on the fact of the death alone.

That grading is why the distinction between murder and manslaughter is so consequential, and why the facts bearing on intent, provocation and circumstance carry disproportionate weight in these cases.
