Dallas, Feb. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DFW Defense Attorney Mick Mickelsen Explains the Difference Between Manslaughter and Criminally Negligent Homicide in New Web Resource
There are four types of criminal homicide in the state of Texas. While murder and capital murder cases tend to receive a lot of media attention, the remaining two types, criminally negligent homicide and manslaughter, are less frequently talked about. To aid public understanding of this area of law, Dallas-based defense attorney Mick Mickelsen has created a web resource explaining important legal information about the two crimes in detail.
Manslaughter is a second-degree felony in Texas, and carries much harsher penalties than criminally negligent homicide, which is a state jail felony,” says Mr. Mickelsen, who has decades of experience defending violent crimes in the state of Texas. “Those accused of criminal homicide in Texas are often left wondering which offense they will be charged with, and those charged often wonder why they have been charged with one and not the other.”

- Criminally negligent homicide vs. manslaughter in Texas
