Legal Ease:  What's the difference between the degrees of murder?

Depends what state you're in.  For example in New York first-degree murder is offing a cop; in Pennsylvania it's any intentional killing.  In general, though, there are three basic levels.  Plain 'ol murder is intentional, premeditated killing.  Voluntary manslaughter is a crime of passion (catching your girlfriend with the plumber and snuffing them both).  And involuntary manslaughter refers to accidental but reckless killings, like those caused by hunting accidents.  "As you go down in 'degrees,' penal time also typically goes down."
