There may be varying degrees of homicide crimes, but that does not mean that you should take any homicide crime less seriously than another. The legal penalties for manslaughter may not be quite as steep as those for first degree murder, but it is still highly recommended that you treat a manslaughter case with the same level of importance and severity of a first degree murder case. That importance should include enlisting the aid of an attorney.

No matter what the circumstances of the case are, you must never underestimate a prosecutor’s ability to build a case against you. The American justice system strives to be honorable, fair and full of integrity, but there have undeniably been cases in which the wrong person was convicted of a crime. Proper legal defense can help to ensure that does not happen to you, so it is recommended that you consult with an attorney no matter how obvious you believe your innocence to be.

Many different factors can come into play if your case is brought before the courts. For example, if you have previously been convicted of a crime, the charges leveraged against you may be even more serious than if you had no criminal record. Of course your personal history is only one part of the equation. The circumstances of the case are another.
