This charge differs from intentional killing, as it does not involve a deliberate act to cause harm. Instead, it arises from a situation where the individual\u2019s careless or reckless behavior leads to the death of another person, even though there was no intent to kill. For example, a person who fails to follow basic safety precautions while driving or handling a dangerous object could face a negligent homicide charge if their actions result in a fatal accident.<\/p><p>Although the death occurred unintentionally, negligent homicide is still a serious criminal offense because it still involves the loss of life due to reckless conduct. As a result, this charge carries significant penalties, including potential prison time and fines, making it crucial to understand the legal ramifications of such an accusation.\u00a0<\/p><h3>ARS 13-1102<\/h3><p>The legal definition of negligent homicide in Arizona can be found under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/13\/01102.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARS 13-1102<\/a>. It states that a person commits the offense of negligent homicide if he or she causes the death of another person, including an unborn child, with criminal negligence.<\/p><p>This means that to be charged with negligent homicide, the killing of another person must not have been done on purpose. It is essentially due to some kind of tragic accident wherein one becomes criminally liable. (However, accidents that result in the death of another person are not always criminal.)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86c6d5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"86c6d5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-22.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-214376\" alt=\"What is Negligent Homicide?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-22.png 1500w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-22-800x427.png 800w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-22-1200x640.png 1200w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-22-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-22-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dc2b5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1dc2b5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>What is Criminal Negligence in Arizona?<\/h2><p>In order to fully understand the crime of negligent homicide, it\u2019s important to have a better understanding of what exactly constitutes <b>criminal negligence<\/b>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/13\/00105.htm#:~:text=(d)%20%22Criminal%20negligence%22,or%20that%20the%20circumstance%20exists.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARS 13-105<\/a> provides the definition of criminal negligence in Arizona.\u00a0<\/p><p>Under this statute, an act of criminal negligence means \u201cthat a person fails to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the result will occur or that the circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that the failure to perceive it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation.\u201d<\/p><p>In other words, criminal negligence occurs when a person fails to recognize that the act they are committing poses a significant risk of serious physical injury or death to another person. So, while the individual did not intend to cause serious harm or death, a reasonable person would not have taken these actions because they would have been aware they posed a danger to others.<\/p><h2>Negligent Homicide Examples<\/h2><p>One of the most common examples of negligent homicide is <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/criminal-defense\/homicide-criminal-defense-attorney-phoenix\/vehicular-homicide\/\">vehicular homicide<\/a>, sometimes also referred to as vehicular manslaughter. Vehicular homicide occurs when a driver, typically impaired by drugs or alcohol, causes a fatal accident. It can also result from a <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/blog\/criminal-defense-attorney\/arizona-hit-and-run-laws\/\">hit-and-run accident<\/a>, where the driver flees the scene after a crash that leads to someone&#8217;s death. Other factors, such as racing, driving at extreme speeds, or reckless driving, can further contribute to these vehicular crimes in Arizona.<\/p><p>Of course, negligent homicide in Arizona isn\u2019t always limited to a type of motor vehicle accident. Other accidents caused by reckless or negligent behavior that result in death may also lead to negligent homicide charges. Examples include:<\/p><ul><li>Recklessly handling a loaded gun, causing a fatal hunting accident<\/li><li>Locking a child in a hot car<\/li><li>Leaving a car running in a garage<\/li><li>Failing to control a fire that leads to the death of a firefighter or another person<\/li><li>Waiting too long to contact 911 in a life-threatening situation<\/li><li>An inattentive babysitter failing to act responsibly<\/li><\/ul><p>Arizona law also extends negligent homicide charges to cases where the death of an unborn child occurs at any stage of development, unless the person involved was performing a legal abortion or medical treatment to the woman or the unborn child. Whether involving vehicular crimes or other reckless actions, negligent homicide remains a serious criminal offense with significant legal consequences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4c67bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c4c67bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-22.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-214377\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-22.png 1500w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-22-800x427.png 800w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-22-1200x640.png 1200w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-22-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-22-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14fad67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14fad67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Negligent Homicide vs Second-Degree Murder<\/h3><p>The primary difference between <b>negligent homicide <\/b>and <b>second degree murder<\/b> lies in the intent and circumstances surrounding the death of another person. Negligent homicide occurs when a person causes the death of another through criminal negligence, meaning the individual\u2019s actions were taken without reasonable caution, but there was no intent to kill. In contrast, <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/criminal-defense\/murder-criminal-defense-attorney-phoenix\/second-degree-murder\/\">second degree murder in Arizona<\/a> involves the unlawful killing of another person without premeditation, but with circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life.\u00a0<\/p><p>Second degree murder, defined under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/13\/01104.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARS 13-1104<\/a>, can occur when someone uses unlawful deadly physical force knowing that their actions could cause death, or when the person kills in the heat of passion due to adequate provocation. Second degree murder charges may also apply when the death of another person results from actions intended to harm a third person.\u00a0<\/p><p>Unlike negligent homicide, which typically stems from careless behavior, second degree murder is considered a more serious offense due to the deliberate disregard for human life.<\/p><h3>Negligent Homicide vs Manslaughter<\/h3><p><b>Criminally negligent homicide<\/b> and <b>manslaughter<\/b> share some similarities, but the key distinction between them lies in the level of mental culpability required. When a person commits manslaughter, they demonstrate &#8220;recklessness,&#8221; meaning they are aware of the substantial risk their actions pose to human life but proceed anyway.\u00a0<\/p><p>On the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/blog\/criminal-defense-attorney\/what-is-the-difference-between-involuntary-manslaughter-and-negligent-homicide-in-phoenix-az\/\">criminally negligent homicide in Arizona<\/a>, formerly classified as <i>involuntary manslaughter<\/i>, occurs when the person fails to recognize the risk entirely, acting with criminal negligence rather than intentional recklessness. As a result, the penalty for negligent homicide is typically less severe than the penalty for a <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/criminal-defense\/manslaughter\/\">manslaughter charge in Arizona<\/a>, due to the lower level of awareness involved.<\/p><p>More specifically, manslaughter charges (as defined by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/13\/01103.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARS 13-1103<\/a>) may result from reckless behavior that leads to the death of another person, such as causing an unborn child\u2019s death, assisting someone in an attempt to commit suicide, or acting with disregard for human life in a situation that results in a fatality.\u00a0<\/p><p>In summary, the key difference is that with negligent homicide, the individual is unaware of the risks their actions create, while manslaughter involves a conscious decision to act despite understanding those risks. Whether facing a criminally negligent homicide or manslaughter charge, both offenses are serious, but the degree of responsibility and awareness of the danger differentiates the two.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-553f04a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"553f04a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-19.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-214378\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-19.png 1500w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-19-800x427.png 800w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-19-1200x640.png 1200w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-19-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-19-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6cf0ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b6cf0ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Is Negligent Homicide a Felony?<\/h2><p>Yes, for a first offense, negligent homicide is considered a <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/blog\/felonies\/class-4-felonies-in-arizona\/\">Class 4 felony in Arizona<\/a>. While misdemeanor convictions can result in fines and jail time, felony convictions often result in extended stays in prison as well as the loss of certain civil liberties, such as the right to vote and carry a firearm.<\/p><p>In some cases, the prosecution may attempt to charge you with an even more serious crime, such as manslaughter or second-degree murder, which can carry even harsher penalties. Let\u2019s look at the example of a child left in a hot car: if the prosecution proves that the parent knew they were leaving the child in the car while going to work, they might be charged with manslaughter. However, a parent who forgot the child was still in the car did not realize they were abandoning the child and would be charged with negligent homicide as a result. Whether the parent is charged with manslaughter or negligent homicide is largely determined by the type of evidence available to establish that the parent was aware of the situation.<\/p><h2>Arizona Felony Murder Rule<\/h2><p>In some cases, a negligent homicide charge can even be elevated to the most serious crime under Arizona law: <b>first-degree murder<\/b>. <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/blog\/violent-crimes\/arizona-felony-murder-rule\/\">Arizona&#8217;s felony murder rule<\/a> allows a lesser homicide charge to be elevated to that of first-degree murder if the killing occurred during the commission of certain serious felonies. Under this rule, an individual can face a first-degree murder conviction even if they did not intend to kill or premeditate the act. For example, if someone is involved in a <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/robbery\/\">robbery<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/burglary\/\">burglary<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/kidnapping\/\">kidnapping<\/a> and a death results from their actions\u2014whether they caused it directly or not\u2014they can be charged with <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/criminal-defense\/murder-criminal-defense-attorney-phoenix\/first-degree-murder\/\">first degree murder in Arizona<\/a> under the <b>felony murder rule<\/b>.<\/p><p>This rule applies even if the death was unintentional or accidental, as long as the killing occurred during the commission of the felony. A conviction under the felony murder rule carries the same severe penalties as premeditated murder, including life imprisonment or even the death penalty in certain cases. The law holds participants in the felony accountable for any loss of life that occurs during their criminal activities, significantly elevating the consequences of their actions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d90dad elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2d90dad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-13.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-214379\" alt=\"Arizona Felony Murder Rule\" srcset=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-13.png 1500w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-13-800x427.png 800w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-13-1200x640.png 1200w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-13-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/5-13-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb26b31 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bb26b31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Arizona Negligent Homicide Sentence<\/h2><p>If you have no prior criminal record, and you did not use a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument to commit the crime, then the sentence for a Class 4 Non-Dangerous Felony for negligent homicide in Arizona may entail:<\/p><ul><li>Probation, with anywhere from 0 days in jail to 12 months in jail; or<\/li><li>A minimum of 1 year in prison and up to a maximum of 3.75 years in prison.<\/li><li>Aggravating circumstances, such as past criminal history or more serious types of offenses, may result in a jail sentence of up to 16 years.<\/li><\/ul><p>If you are charged with negligent homicide Arizona as a <a href=\"https:\/\/belenlawfirm.com\/blog\/felonies\/class-4-felonies-in-arizona\/\">Class 4 Dangerous Felony<\/a>, which means you used a deadly weapon (firearm, knife, etc.) or a dangerous instrument (car, baseball bat, etc.), you may face the following penalties:<\/p><ul><li>A minimum of 4 years in prison and a maximum of 8 years in prison.<\/li><\/ul><p>Note that the prison sentence will likely increase if you have prior criminal convictions.

She spent thousands of hours over the year and a half she represented our family to challenge the prosecution at every corner and on every angle.

My teenage son needed defense against law enforcement and my family needed legal advice and support in the worst way. Despite being beaten black and blue by police officers that said he was resisting arrest, they also charged him with two felonies. We were all at a loss and Belen was able to keep us grounded as we went through the process explaining every step along the way. She worked extremely hard to expose the truth about the officer involved, and because of her hard work, the felonies were dropped. My son can go on with his life without having his record and character tarnished by these unjust accusations.\"\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">- Client<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Hire this one! I spoke to several firms before using Belen. Every other firm connected me to a sales person who refused to allow me to speak with an attorney. Belen was put on the phone when I called at 7pm on a Saturday. Belen cared about my son. He had a warrant for his arrest and did not know until he was pulled over and hauled off to jail. Belen went to the jail on Saturday, stood with my son in jail in front of the jailhouse court judge and told that judge how it was. My son walked out 2 hours later without paying for bail. The following week, she called the prosecutor and was able to get the plea reinstated from years prior that resulted in the case being fully dismissed. Also, her fees for everything were lower than the other attorneys who were trying to get me to pay over the phone. I highly recommend Belen!\"\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span
