What counts as a murder charge?

There are many cases when the death of a person was the result of an accident. Other times it can be due to self-defense. If the prosecution can convince the court however that a killing was intentional then the charges will be considered murder charges. In cases where recklessness or negligence was the cause, the charges can be reduced to involuntary manslaughter or vehicular homicide.

Charges can include:
