Capital murder carries the death penalty or life without parole in my state. Capital murder is premeditated or a homicide committed in association with one of the 5 inherently dangerous crimes. Manslaughter is homicide committed in the heat of the moment. Unintentional homicide, usually due to negligence, is involuntary manslaughter. Depraved heart murder is a life sentence. Our penal code does not have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree murder.
