What Are the Penalties for Homicide in Florida?

Murder Defense Lawyer


Florida is one of the 27 states where capital punishment is authorized, and there are several degrees of homicide charges.

Under Florida law, you will face sentencing ranging from years in prison to death under the following charges.

First-Degree Murder

Murder in the first degree is punishable by life in prison without the possibility of parole or death. There are a couple of different circumstances in which a person may achieve this sentence. A first-degree murder defense attorney could help you avoid this extremely severe sentence and prove either your innocence or that First-Degree Murder charges are not appropriate in your case.

Second-Degree Murder

Being found guilty of murder in the second degree, which is a first-degree felony, comes with a sentence of life in prison and a fine of up to $15,000. You may face this kind of sentence if you unlawfully kill a human being through an act imminently dangerous to another person.

There must be no premeditated design to the death.

Third-Degree Murder

Murder in the third degree is defined as the unintentional killing of another human being during the process of committing or attempting to commit a nonviolent felony. If convicted, a person guilty of this crime will face up to 15 years in prison, up to 15 years of probation, and a fine of up to $10,000.

Manslaughter

Manslaughter is a very different kind of crime, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t carry serious penalties. This crime is defined by the unintentional killing of another person, either by accident or because of negligence and other liabilities issues.

In particularly egregious cases, including negligence, for instance, someone guilty of manslaughter may be sentenced to decades in prison.

Vehicular Homicide

Vehicular homicide is defined as the reckless and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle that results in the death of another person. Typically, vehicular homicide cases are connected to DUI charges, though this is not always the case.

A crime like this constitutes a second-degree felony, and, if found guilty, a person may be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison, 15 years of probation, and a fine of up to $10,000.

FAQs about Murder Laws
Can I be charged with murder if I defend myself?
faq-closefaq-chset

Yes. In fact, defending yourself in a murder case increases the likelihood that you will face more severe penalties for a crime you committed or even a crime you did not commit. With a professional attorney by your side, you’ll reduce the chances of facing jumped-up charges, and you’ll have a better chance to tell your side of the story accurately to the jury.

It’s always best to have legal experts defending you in cases like these.

If someone died, is it automatically a homicide?
faq-close2faq-chset2

Homicide refers to the unlawful killing of another person. If an individual died because of their own actions, from natural causes, or from any event that was not caused by an individual, it is not considered a homicide.
