- MurderIn my senior year of high school I was asked to participate in the senior class play. It was a murder mystery. I had asked to be the judge. However, the teacher presiding over the play stated that I would have to be the defense attorney. I enjoyed playing the part of a defense attorney immensely. During my last year of education at Eastern Michigan University I reflected back on the part I had played in that play. I then decided to go to Law School. My applications were put in somewhat tardily to the University of Michigan, Wayne State University and Colorado University. Wayne State University accepted me. However, that was the year of the race riots in Detroit and I decided I did not want to participate in an educational program in Detroit. The University of Michigan accepted me but said that since my application was in so late that I would have to wait a year to start my attendance. I had not sent in my $50 application fee to CU when I sent in my application. I sent in $50 and within a week received a letter of acceptance from Dean Reed of the University of Colorado School of Law.

- Manslaughter3rd degree murder charges It is critical to understand the difference between these charges. First degree murder can be punished by death, and carries a minimum sentence of life.

The law is very clear on these charges, and depends largely on premeditation to distinguish between the degrees. Manslaughter is a fourth degree felony. That means the sentence can be as little as two years and as much as six. Understanding the differences in the law could mean years of your life.
