What Is Considered Murder in Maryland?

Maryland law defines murder as the unlawful killing of a human with the intent to kill or the intent to do grievous bodily harm.

Murder is divided into two categories: murder in the first degree and murder in the second degree. First-degree murder is murder that is accompanied by one of several aggravating factors. These aggravating factors include killing a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or firefighter while they are performing their duties; killing two or more people at the same time; killing a child under age 12; killing a pregnant woman; or killing someone by poisoning.

Second-degree murder is murder that does not involve one of the aggravating factors listed above. Second-degree murder is charged as a felony, and the sentence is life in prison with the possibility of parole.

Under Maryland law, murder is a felony punishable by life in prison without the possibility of parole.

How Does Maryland Classify Manslaughter?

Manslaughter is a lesser charge than murder. Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without premeditation. Like murder, manslaughter is divided into two categories: manslaughter in the first degree and manslaughter in the second degree.

First-degree manslaughter is manslaughter that involves one of the aggravating factors listed above. Second-degree manslaughter is manslaughter that does not involve one of the aggravating factors.

What Are the Penalties for Manslaughter in Maryland?

Manslaughter is a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. However, manslaughter is also punishable by life in prison without the possibility of parole if it involves one of the aggravating factors listed above.

“Best DUI/DWI Lawyer..HANDS DOWN!! Mr. Hall is a ROCKSTAR! (WORTH THE READ)”
Honestly, HIRE HIM ASAP! I was a complete mess after my arrest since this was my 3rd DUI arrest but Mr. Hall is super easy going and put my mind at ease. There were some grey areas in my case and I did not blow or take the field tests but I was still expecting some probation, community service and having to wear the ankle bracelet for an amount of time but that wasn't the case! Mr. Hall walked in there like the Zorro of lawyers and tore my case apart. Slicing and dicing the prosecution providing more than enough reasonable doubt in my case that the judge had no other choice to find me NOT GUILTY! I can't recommend him enough!! Don't think about it, JUST HIRE HIM!! Thanks again, Mr. Hall!!!

“Outstanding Service From Mr. Hall”
I had a drug possession charge, which was my first offence. I was worried and scared. I hired Mr. Hall because of all the attorneys I spoke with, I could tell that Mr. Hall had a genuine concern for the outcome of my case. I could tell that he was experienced and knew what he was doing. By the time my court date came I ended up not even having to go to court because of Mr. Hall. I ended up with a very favorable outcome. I am also a college student, and knowing that Mr. Hall was very flexible while working with me. I would recommend him to anyone.

“Out of state”
I am an out of state resident. Mr Hall handle the case with extreme professionalism and was able to reduce the charges to the minimum. I would recommend Mr Hall to anyone needing an attorney.
“Mr. Hall is the best!”
I would recommend recommend William Hall in a heartbeat. My family had two serious cases in the last two years that could have landed each person in jail. But Mr. Hall took our cases, and with his knowledge of the law and the local court system, he was able to show the court that we had made minor, but unintentional mistakes regarding the law, and that fines were the more appropriate punishment in each case...and not jail time. Not only that, but William really treated us like he cared. I can sincerely say that He is a lawyer who is not chasing the money, and really fought for me and my family in court. If we had a question, he always called us back in a timely manner. He treats you with respect no matter what. When we need legal help there, the one attorney I call on Delmarva is William Hall.
“He is a great man and serves justice!!!”
Mr. Hall represented my brother. He went above and beyond. He was always in contact with my mother every step of the way never told her anything that wasn't true. My family was so nervous but once he went to action everything was at ease. He talked with the DA and had them take a look at the evidence and the charges were dropped! He is a great man and serves justice!!!

“Highly Recommended”
I contacted William Hall to see if he could do a modification on all 5 of my sentences. He returned my letter and set up a meeting with me and said he would take the case. Mr. Hall took my case when all other lawyers told me I had no chance of get my sentence modified. After hiring him he had me a court date within 6 months which is unheard of, he had my 5 sentences modified and out of a very tough place in 6 months. I will always be grateful to him for all his hard work and staying in contact with me and my family through out the whole process!! He was honest with everything he could do and would do. I recommend him to everyone I know that needs any legal advice!! William Hall is by far the best lawyer I have ever hired!!!
