In this episode, Prof. Audrey Rogers discusses the various types of homicide. She explains how homicide labels (murder, manslaughter) are tied to punishment rather than intent, and explains the various types of homicide available to prosecutors. Prof. Rogers provides concrete examples of the various types of intent and reminds students that the key to success on a criminal law exam is to read the language of the statute as homicide statutes vary from state to state!!
