NEW MEXICO MURDER LAW

SECOND-DEGREE MURDER
“A charge of second-degree murder is somewhat of a catch-all for intentional killings that do not rise to the level of first-degree murder, but do not fit within the definition of voluntary manslaughter. Under New Mexico law, second-degree murder involves a defendant who kills another while engaging in conduct that he knows creates “a strong probability of death or great bodily harm” to another person.”

INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER
The crime of involuntary manslaughter involves a killing that occurs in the commission of some unlawful act other than a felony crime. Involuntary manslaughter also involves a killing that occurs while the defendant is engaging in a lawful but dangerous act without exercising “due caution and circumspection.” Involuntary manslaughter is a fourth-degree felony, punishable by up to eighteen months in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. An example of involuntary manslaughter may be a fatal traffic accident caused by a driver who was texting while driving.
