Breaking Down Illinois Murder Laws
In Illinois, murder charges are categorized into two degrees:
- First-degree murder: This involves intentionally killing another person or causing death while committing a forcible felony. It also includes actions that create a strong probability of death or great bodily harm.
- Second-degree murder: This occurs when a person commits first-degree murder under circumstances of sudden and intense passion or an unreasonable belief in justification.
Each charge carries severe penalties, making skilled legal representation crucial.
