As a former Public Defender, Mr. Selleck is experienced in defending homicide cases, and understands very well the gravity of such allegations. A conviction for first-degree murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole, and could, if the State chose to pursue it
, carry a death sentence.
Although the State frequently charges first-degree murder in a case in which a person was killed, very few of such situations actually meet the very specific definition of that charge. And of course, quite often, there are circumstances — such as a situation in which a person acts in self-defense — that justify or mitigate what appears to be a homicide and lead to a much better outcome.
