A suspect who intentionally causes the victim's death in the course of a crime can be charged with murder, while a murder committed when the victim is unable to resist, such as sexual assault, kidnapping, illegal detention or killing law enforcement personnel, can be charged with first-degree murder.
Some criminal lawyers pointed out that if the suspect causes the death of others, the police must first identify it as murder. If the murder case is caused by injury, assassination, shooting and other illegal acts. You can sue for manslaughter. If, in the course of committing a crime, the criminal suspect intentionally causes the death of the victim, or intentionally causes physical injury to the victim, and knows that such injury may lead to death, he still attacks the victim regardless of the consequences, which can be upgraded to homicide. Once the murder charge is determined, the difference in sentencing needs to be clearly defined as first-degree murder or second-degree murder. Canadian criminal law stipulates that all murder charges must be sentenced to life imprisonment, and the difference in sentencing lies in the length of time without parole. All murders were set in second-degree murder for the first time, and the period of non-parole ranged from 10 to 25 years. As for how many years parole cannot be granted, each case is different and will be announced by the presiding judge at the final hearing.
If there are aggravating circumstances recognized by the court, the charge may be upgraded to first-degree murder. For the crime of first-degree murder, the criminal law requires no parole for at least 25 years. The factors that aggravate the crime of first-degree murder include: the murder is premeditated and intentional; Kill for money; The victim is a policeman or a prison guard; The murder was committed when the victim was unable to resist.
