Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse and committed with the necessary intent as defined by the law in a specific jurisdiction. This state of mind may, depending upon the jurisdiction, distinguish murder from other forms of unlawful homicide, such as manslaughter. Manslaughter is killing committed in the absence of malice, such as in the case of voluntary manslaughter brought about by reasonable provocation, or diminished capacity. Involuntary manslaughter, where it is recognized, is a killing that lacks all but the most attenuated guilty intent, recklessness.
“Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.”
“It must be true that whenever a sensational murder is committed there are people who — though they are, quite properly, of no interest to law enforcers, attorneys, or newspaper reporters — weep, lie sleepless, and realize at last that their lives have been changed by a crime in which they played no part.”
“If the masterpiece was murder, I'd major in art.”
“Hell of a thing killing a man... you take away all he has and all he's gonna have.”
“No place, indeed, should murder sanctuarize.”
“Murder, like talent, seems occasionally to run in families.”
