Murder vs Manslaughter - What Is The Difference?

from Get Legally Speaking With Hatti Suvari Hosted by Hatti Suvari

When someone kills another person, why are some convicted of murder while others are found guilty of manslaughter? Is it really just “legal technicalities,” or is there more to it? In this powerful and thought-provoking episode Hatti Suvari is joined by senior barrister Simon Spence QC to break down the crucial differences between murder and manslaughter. From the legal tests and available defences, to what distinguishes one charge from the other, to the sentences that can be imposed, this episode gives you clear insight into one of the most serious areas of criminal law. It also explores circumstances where a person may not be charged at all, and the legal defences that can apply. If you or someone you know want to better understand how the law approaches these complex cases, this is a must-listen.
