If a family member has been detained or faces an accusation of this magnitude, there is no time to lose.
Differences between homicide and murder offenses in the Criminal Code
To prepare the defense or prosecution, it is vital that the client understands the legal classification of the act. The Spanish Criminal Code clearly differentiates the penalties and requirements of these serious crimes: Homicide offense: Occurs when a person causes the death of another without specific aggravating circumstances.
It can be intentional (with intent) or negligent (for example, in traffic accidents or crimes against road safety). The base prison sentence ranges between 10 and 15 years. Murder offense: This is an aggravated form. It is classified as murder if carried out with premeditation, for price or reward, or with cruelty, deliberately and inhumanely increasing the victim’s suffering.
Penalties for murder are drastically higher, potentially reaching Permanent Reviewable Prison. Our specialist attorney analyzes the autopsy, crime scene planimetry and toxicological reports to disprove aggravating factors and reduce the classification to lesser offenses, or to prove them irrefutably if we are acting as prosecutors.
Private prosecution: justice and reparation for the victim
If you have lost a loved one due to a violent act, the Public Prosecutor’s Office will act ex officio, but your family needs exclusive legal representation. Our law firm acts as private prosecutor to ensure the perpetrator receives the maximum possible sentence. In addition to the custodial sentence, we demand maximum compensation for civil liability to repair the moral and economic damage caused.
We take charge of being your voice and your shield before the courts, providing the quality and commitment that a tragedy of this magnitude deserves.
