Non-capital murder refers to a form of homicide that does not carry the death penalty as a potential punishment. This typically includes various degrees of murder, such as second-degree murder or manslaughter, where the intent and circumstances may differ from those in capital murder cases. In non-capital murder, the penalties usually involve lengthy prison sentences rather than capital punishment. The specific definitions and penalties can vary by jurisdiction.
