FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

01

What court deals with murder and manslaughter charges?

+

In New South Wales, murder and manslaughter charges are serious indictable offences that are tried in the Supreme Court. These cases require the highest level of legal expertise and experience due to their complex nature and severe consequences. At JBP Law, our seasoned criminal defence lawyers are equipped to navigate the complexities of the Supreme Court to ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.

02

What is the difference between murder and manslaughter?

+

Murder and manslaughter are both unlawful killings, but the key difference lies in the intent. Murder involves the intention to kill or cause grievous bodily harm, while manslaughter typically involves a lack of intent to kill, often occurring due to reckless or negligent actions. Understanding these distinctions is crucial, and our team at JBP Law can provide the clarity and defence strategies tailored to the specifics of your case.

03

How long do murder and manslaughter charges stay on your record?

+

Murder and manslaughter charges, if convicted, result in a permanent criminal record that can have lifelong implications. This includes affecting employment opportunities, travel restrictions, and personal relationships. Our dedicated lawyers at JBP Law work tirelessly to mitigate these impacts, exploring every possible avenue for a reduced sentence or acquittal.

04

Will I go to jail for a murder or manslaughter offence?

+

Murder and manslaughter offences carry significant penalties, often including lengthy prison sentences. However, the outcome can vary greatly depending on the specifics of the case, including the evidence presented and the effectiveness of your legal defence. At JBP Law, we focus on building a robust defence to minimise or avoid jail time, leveraging our extensive courtroom experience and legal expertise.

05

What are the penalties for a murder and manslaughter?

+

In New South Wales, a conviction for murder can result in a life sentence, while manslaughter carries a maximum penalty of 25 years imprisonment. The severity of the penalty can depend on various factors, including the circumstances of the offence and any mitigating factors. Our lawyers at JBP Law are committed to advocating for the most favourable outcome, utilising our in-depth knowledge of sentencing laws and precedents.

06

What evidence is needed for a murder and manslaughter offence?

+

Prosecutors must present substantial evidence to secure a conviction for murder or manslaughter, including eyewitness testimonies, forensic evidence, and expert reports. Disproving or casting doubt on this evidence is critical to your defence. At JBP Law, our team meticulously examines all evidence, identifies inconsistencies, and constructs a compelling defence strategy to challenge the prosecution's case.
