A conviction for homicide carries significant consequences.  In Arizona, the consequences for first-degree murder can be life in prison, and prosecutors will often seek the death penalty.  Other types of homicide, including second-degree murder, manslaughter, and negligent homicide, are less serious but still carry significant penalties, including a lengthy prison sentence.  Depending on the case, charges of homicide may also be associated with other charges, including aggravated assault, robbery, or DUI/DWI.
