Murder, as defined in common law countries, is the unlawful killing of another human being with intent (or malice aforethought), and generally this state of mind distinguishes murder from other forms of unlawful homicide. All jurisdictions, ancient and modern, consider it a most serious crime and therefore impose severe penalty on its commission. The word murder is related, in old English, to the French word mordre (bite) in reference to the heavy compensation one must pay for causing an unjust death. A person who commits murder is called a murderer; the term murderess, meaning a woman who murders, has largely fallen into disuse.

How much does a murder trial cost for the accused? Just give me an average figure?
Q. I was just thinking earlier today about lawyers and seems to me that they could make a whole lot just by doing a few murder trials per year. I know that the cost depends totally on the experience and reputation of the lawyer, but just give me a ball park figure? And any other pertinent information involving murder trials?

A. well if you're the defendant, you can get a court appointed lawyer, which is free to you, but costs the state over 80 dollars an hour (in NC). I would estimate hiring a private lawyer would run you, in total, somewhere between $5000 and $10,000.

What exactly is complicity to commit murder?
Q. My friend, Kevin Barnhill, who was 27 years old was killed last week by 2-3 Mexicans in Mason, OH-- stabbed 11 times and beaten with a baseball bat. They are charging the Mexicans with Complicity to Commit Murder... What exactly is generally the sentence for this? We want to make sure these people are locked up forever, and it doesn't sound like that's going to happen. Complicity?? The definition of complicity is involvement. How could they both only get involvement. Someone has to pay for his murder! They have all of the evidence saying they did it!

A. i think its a mexican thing the problem with mexicans is that they drink too much tequila. they werent charged with murder becuase they have some sort of "hat dance" they can do to get out of these things... plus they all grow moustaches and wear the same hats so you can't tell which one really committed the crime! and ohio seems a long way from the border without the guards catching them - it must have been speedy gonzalez.

Homicide refers to the act of killing another human being. Although homicide does not define an illegal act necessarily, sometimes it is used synonymously with "murder."

For the 1990s police television series, see Homicide: Life on the Street
