State of Mind
Not every death is a homicide. A conviction for criminal homicide requires some kind of intent to commit the crime. Depending on the specific charge, the prosecutor must prove that you committed the act purposely, knowingly, recklessly or negligently. As experienced criminal defense lawyers and former assistant district attorneys, we hold the prosecutors to their burden of proof so that juries and judges can clearly see when the intent just wasn't there.
