    About Murder Charges

    A murder offense is one of the most serious crimes you can be charged with.  With this type of charge more than any other, immediately obtaining a professional Corona criminal defense lawyer to defend you is imperative.  Beginning an investigation into the allegation must begin at once so as to ensure that all relevant facts are evaluated, such as witness statements, forensic evidence and whatever other information is obtained through discovery.  Cho, Sheasby, Chung & Ignacio, LLP has almost a decade of experience in criminal defense and has provided his clients with aggressive and skilled legal advocacy.  Our firm is committed to presenting a well documented, compelling and effective defense to clients charged with murder.

    A murder charge carries different penalties, depending on the facts of the case.  A person can be charged with first or second degree murder in California.  When there is "malice aforethought" involved in the crime, the charge would be 1st degree murder, showing that the act was intentional and pre-meditated.  This carries a sentence of up to 25 years to life.  A second degree charge shows intent, but is not pre-meditated, such as in a crime of passion.  This charge carries a sentence of 15 years to life in prison.  A capital murder charge indicates that there were special circumstances involved in the crime and carries the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole.
