Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the difference between murder and manslaughter in New York?

    Murder generally involves intent to kill. Manslaughter may involve recklessness or actions committed in the heat of the moment. The penalties differ greatly.

  • Can I claim self-defense in a homicide case?

    Yes. If you acted to prevent imminent death or serious injury, self-defense may apply. It depends on the evidence and how the incident unfolded.

  • What if someone died during a robbery I didn’t commit?

    You can still be charged under NY’s felony murder rule. It’s critical to have legal counsel that understands complex liability laws.

  • Will I automatically be denied bail for a murder charge?

    Bail is often denied in homicide cases, but we can challenge pretrial detention and file for evidentiary hearings or motions to dismiss.

  • Has Texido Law won any murder cases?

    Yes. We’ve secured both not-guilty verdicts and full dismissals in murder and attempted murder cases. See our [Case Results] for details.
