Orlando Murder Defense Attorney

What is the Difference Between 1st and 2nd Degree Murders in Florida?

Murder charges are defined by the following degrees:

  • First Degree Murder: This includes premeditated murder or felony murder. Premeditated murder occurs when one person kills another person as the result of a planned out scheme. Felony murder occurs when one person intentionally or unintentionally kills another person as the result of carrying out or attempting to carry out a different felony crime.
  • Second Degree Murder: This includes murder with a depraved mind or accomplice felony murder. Murder with a depraved mind occurs when one person kills another person without premeditation, but during an act that shows blatant disregard for the safety of other human lives. Accomplice felony murder occurs when a person is an accomplice in committing a felony crime that results in death.
  • Third Degree Murder: This includes killing another person while attempting to carry out a non-violent felony. An exception to this is if a person provided drugs that led to the victim's death. In this case, the crime may be charged as first degree murder.

    "I highly recommend Mr. Mazin, he definitely is top notch and of the very best."
    Great attorney. In search of an attorney we had came across Mr. Mazin. We reached out after reading reviews, as most of us do, and he immediately took my phone call. We were in a desperate situation and needed an attorney almost immediately. Not only did he review the case while on the phone with me, but made sure to even reach out to others who were involved within the case. We hadn't signed a contract or made a payment and he had done more for us than several other attorneys that we had spoken with. I explained the details in reference to the case and he asked that I send him anything that he could review and give his legal expertise. I was utterly shocked. He's extremely polite, diligent, and more so he's worth every dollar. He let's you know from the get go, that when you invest into him, he makes you family. He treats your case as if he were going through it himself or a close relative. He advised our family and educated us on how these upcoming court proceedings would happen, and made sure to let us know that he would work with us in any way possible.
