Homicide is the killing of one human being by another–and falls into two general categories:
  • Murder
  • Manslaughter
Homicides are never taken lightly. Homicide is typically charged as the following in Oklahoma:
  • Murder in the First Degree
  • Soliciting Another to Commit First-Degree Murder
  • Murder in the Second Degree
  • Manslaughter
  • Negligent Homicide

Murder of any sort is considered to be the worst type of crime, and Tulsa County usually appoints their best prosecutors to handle such cases. If you have been contacted by law enforcement regarding an ongoing murder investigation, or believe that you may be a suspect, it’s imperative you contact an experienced Tulsa murder defense lawyer immediately. Aggressive representation early can protect your rights from the beginning, instead of trying to fix damage done while unrepresented. Depending on the case, you may be at an immediate risk of capital murder charges, and possibly the death penalty.

There are certain defenses to homicide. These are sometimes called a justification. The accused does not say he did not commit the act, but that some situation existed to where the act was justified. A murder defense lawyer may explore the following defenses to homicide: self-defense, acting in the defense of others, necessity, lack of premeditation (malice aforethought), lack of intent or motive, or mistaken identity. Defense strategies vary depending on the circumstances and facts of the incident, so it is important to seek an opinion regarding your specific case immediately. Because certain defenses may be lost if not raised during the hearing, it is important to retain Tulsa murder defense lawyers with a proven track record and experience with such cases.
