Think this clears it so justifiable homicide is murder ;)
Homicide (Latin: homicidium, Latin: homo human being + Latin: caedere to cut, kill) is the act of a human killing another human.[1] Murder, for example, is a type of homicide. It can also describe a person who has committed such an act, though this use is rare in modern English. Homicide is not always a punishable act under the criminal law, and is different than a murder from such formal legal point of view.
Codification of Homicides (Codes & Classification of Homicide)
1) 1st degree murder---is a crime
2) 2nd degree murder---is a crime
3) voluntary manslaughter---is a crime
4) involuntary manslaughter---is a crime
5) justifiable homicide---not a crime
This quote is from Wikipedia
"Modern codifications tend to create a genus of offenses, known collectively as
homicide, of which
murder is the most serious species, followed by
manslaughter which is less serious, and ending finally in
justifiable homicide, which is not a crime at all"
Murder is in the category of homicide.
Murder is a criminal offense and justifiable homicide is not a criminal offense.
Therefore, justifiable homicide is
not murder ;)
That last sentence was for you Kyle mccall :D
