Defense Considerations

Included among homicides are murder and manslaughter, but not all homicides are a crime, particularly when there is a lack of criminal intent.

Non-criminal homicides include killing in self-defense, a misadventure like a hunting accident or automobile wreck without a violation of law (like driving recklessly), or legal (government) execution.

Suicide is a homicide, but in most cases there is no one to prosecute if the suicide is successful. Assisting or attempting suicide can be a crime.
