Second Degree Murder is committed when a victim dies after a defendant knows that his/her conduct will cause death or expresses an extreme indifference to human life by creating a grave risk. Second Degree Murder is commonly imposed by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in the event a person dies as a result of a DUI alcohol-related accident.
Second Degree Murder is a lesser offense than first degree murder and is considered to be a Class 1 Felony with a mandatory prison sentence of no less than ten (10) years and no more than twenty-two (22) years if convicted.
