Types of Murder & Manslaughter in Oklahoma

There are various degrees of murder and manslaughter in Oklahoma, each requiring the prosecution to prove your actions resulted in the death of another person:

  • First-degree murder: The state must prove that you either (i) took a person’s life with deliberate intent, (ii) the death was caused while carrying out a felony, or (iii) a child’s life was taken during the commission of child abuse.
  • Second-degree murder: The state must prove that you (i) engaged in imminently dangerous behavior with disregard for human life (resulting in death), or (ii) the death occurred while carrying out a felony that does not form a basis for murder in the first degree.
  • First-degree manslaughter: The state must prove that (i) a person’s life was taken in a non-justifiable or inexcusable way in the heat of passion, (ii) the death occurred while the deceased was resisting an attempt by the defendant to commit a crime, or (iii) the death occurred while the defendant was trying to carry out a misdemeanor.
  • Second-degree manslaughter: Defined as all other killings that are non-justifiable or excusable yet do not result in any of the criminal charges found above.
