Homicide is the killing of a human being by another. Murder and Manslaughter are types of homicide. Manslaughter is a lesser offense to murder. A homicide is not always unlawful. It can be justified if a person kills with a legally valid excuse or justification, such as self-defense or defense of others when the person reasonably believes that he/she or someone else was in imminent danger of being killed or suffering great bodily injury.

H.A. Sala has tried many homicide cases to verdict. He has a 90% success rate in the homicide cases he has tried, several of which included the defense of self-defense. A charge of homicide could result in severe punishment, including life imprisonment if the accused is convicted. It is therefore essential that the person accused of homicide not discuss the circumstances of the case with anyone except an attorney. If the accused is in custody, he/she should not in any way discuss the case over the phone, during visits or with any other inmate. It is important that you immediately contact Mr. Sala so that he can launch an investigation into the facts and circumstances of the homicide. Swift action to contact witnesses, examine the scene of the homicide and investigate other aspects of the case are critical to an effective defense at trial, which is Mr. Sala’s primary goal.
