Tulsa OK Murder Lawyer

When one person  kills another, the police will  determine whether the killing was justified, as in the case of self-defense, or if it was a crime. If the death is deemed to be unjustified then criminal charges will almost always be filed.

Murder in the State of Oklahoma

Murder is the most serious criminal charge a person can face. While manslaughter is a homicide as well, murder requires the state to prove specific and clear intent to kill,  or an act that is imminently dangerous to another person.

First-degree murder involves premeditation and intent to kill, whereas second-degree murder doesn’t require premeditation to kill, but rather intent to cause serious harm. There are also a handful of situations in which a death that happens during the commission of a felony can be considered murder. In Tulsa, the death penalty can be an option for first-degree murder charges.
