self defence
The term "murder" means a premeditated or preplanned killing of another person. You may be thinking of unintentional homicide, which could range from manslaughter by culpable negligence to justifiable homicide. In the case of the latter, the person must be committing a lawful act in order to claim justifiable homicide - self-defense or accident. He could still be charged with homicide by culpable negligence.
A clear case of self defense might qualify.

Homicide is NEVER justified, but the use of deadly force for self-defense is the only acceptable reason for killing another human being. In that case it is classified as "manslaughter."
Yes, criminal defense lawyers defend individuals who are accused of committing a crime, regardless of whether they are guilty or innocent. Their role is to ensure their clients receive a fair trial and legal representation.
"Homicide" means the killing of a human being; "murder" means the premeditated, intentional killing of a human being. "Homicide" suggests possible accidental killing, self-defense, lack of premeditation, mental incapacity to form intent.
Depends on the type, Negligent, Murder 1, 2, etc. If you're thinking about committing it, you should get help. The consequences usually far outweigh whatever sick pleasure you would get by offing someone. Think imprisonment, death penalty, so on, not to mention monetary costs. Even OJ can't make a dollar without giving straight to the Goldman family, and he was found innocent in criminal court. So please think twice. Hope this helped, and by the way, the penalty for misspelling homicide is how ever much time it took you to read this answer.
Murder is the unlawful, intentional killing of another person. Homicide by culpable negligance is the killing of a person by committing an act of negligance or careless act that if not committed would not have caused the victim to die.
The discharge of a firearm with the intent to kill someone is first degree homicide (or occasionally self defense).
