Murder and Vehicular Manslaughter

We at Ghanayem and Rayasam, in our experience, have seen tragedies as well as injustices involving Murder and Vehicular Manslaughter cases.

Unfortunately the death of another can be caused in many ways, and when this tragic event happens, there is an immediate investigation and in many cases a rush to judgment. After the unnatural death of another, an investigation will determine if the death was accidental, self-inflicted or caused by another.

If the act is a Crime, it will fall into one of the following categories:

  • Murder
  • Felony Murder
  • Voluntary ManslaughterM
  • Involuntary Manslaughter
  • Vehicular Manslaughter

Murder

During a rush to judgment, Ghanayem and Rayasam have seen many incidents where a mass number of people have been “detained” as a result of a Murder investigation. In these cases, Ghanayem and Rayasam have seen innocent individuals talk themselves into a Murder arrest. The Police are trying to ascertain as much information as possible and are not looking out for the best interests of a "detainee." There is no crime of 2nd degree Murder in Georgia - the punishment for Murder is life without the possibility of parole or even the death penalty.

Felony Murder

Don’t be fooled! Felony Murder is not a lesser charge of Murder. Felony Murder is a Murder that occurred during the commission of a felony, even if the person charged was nowhere near the actual Murder. The minimum penalty for Felony Murder is Life in Prison. If you or a loved one is charged with Felony Murder, you should not make any statements without consulting an attorney. Many of the Murder cases handled at Ghanayem and Rayasam result in situations where our clients have proceeded without legal representation at this crucial stage, thus unknowingly harming their case.

If you or a loved one has been accused of Felony Murder, contact Ghanayem and Rayasam at (404) 561-0202 immediately for your free consultation.

Voluntary Manslaughter

Voluntary Manslaughter, often referred to as a “crime of passion,” would otherwise be Murder unless there is such passion or provocation that a normal person would understand the accused’s actions. Voluntary Manslaughter is a very serious crime that carries a potential sentence of 1 to 20 years in prison. There is a very fine line between Murder and Voluntary Manslaughter – don’t get caught between that line!

Ghanayem and Rayasam have a great deal of experience in Voluntary Manslaughter cases. If you or a loved one has been accused of Voluntary Manslaughter, contact Ghanayem and Rayasam at (404) 561-0202 immediately for your free consultation.

Involuntary Manslaughter

Involuntary Manslaughter is an unintended death of another, typically arising from a traffic accident or other misfortune. These cases are rare and often victimize both families involved. Ghanayem and Rayasam understand the sensitivity of a charge of Involuntary Manslaughter and its impact on the family of the deceased as well as the mental anguish and stress on the accused. Involuntary Manslaughter carries a potential of 1 to 10 year sentence upon conviction. Ghanayem and Rayasam are experienced in handling in these sensitive cases. If you or a loved one has been accused of Involuntary Manslaughter, contact Ghanayem and Rayasam at (404) 561-0202 immediately for your free consultation.

Vehicular Manslaughter

Vehicular Manslaughter is known as “Homicide by Vehicle” in Georgia, and usually arises in connection with a DUI or Reckless Driving offense. Vehicular Manslaughter is causing the death of another using a Vehicle. No criminal intent is required for a conviction for this crime. Convictions for the various degrees of Vehicular Manslaughter may include prison sentences of up to 15 years in length.
