1. The killing of one human being by another.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Homicide is of three kinds: justifiable, as when the
killing is performed in the exercise of a right or
performance of a duty; excusable, as when done,
although not as duty or right, yet without culpable or
criminal intent; and felonious, or involving what the
law terms malice; the latter may be either manslaughter
or murder. --Bouvier.

HOMICIDE
(bouvier) | HOMICIDE, crim. law. According to Blackstone, it is the killing of any human
creature. 4 Com. 177. This is the most extensive sense of this word, in
which the intention is not considered. But in a more limited sense, it is
always understood that the killing is by human agency, and Hawkins defines
it to be the killing of a man by a man. 1 Hawk. c. 8, s. 2. See Dalloz,
Dict. h.t. Homicide may perhaps be described to be the destruction of the
life of one human being, either by himself, or by the act, procurement, or
culpable omission of another. When the death has been intentionally caused
by the deceased himself, the offender is called felo de se; when it is
caused by another, it is justifiable, excusable, or felonious.
2. The person killed must have been born; the killing before birth is
balled foeticide. (q.v.)
3. The destruction of human life at any period after birth, is
homicide, however near it may be to extinction, from any other cause.
4.-1. Justifiable homicide is such as arises, 1st. From unavoidable
necessity, without any will, intention or desire, and without any
inadvertence in the party killing, and therefore without blame; as, for
instance, the execution, according to law, of a criminal who has been
lawfully sentenced to be hanged; or, 2d. It is committed for the advancement
of public justice; as if an officer, in the lawful execution of his office,
either in a civil or criminal case, should kill a person who assaults and
resists him. 4 Bl. Com. 178-1 80. See Justifiable Homicide.
5.-2. Excusable homicide is of two kinds 1st. Homicide per
infortunium. (q.v.) or, 2d. Se defendendo, or self defence. (q.v.) 4 Bl.
Com. 182, 3.
6.-3. Felonious homicide, which includes, 1. Self-murder, or suicide;
2. Man-slaughter, (q.v.); and, 3. Murder. (q.v.) Vide, generally, 3 Inst.
47 to 57; 1 Hale P. C. 411 to 602; 1 Hawk. c. 8; Fost. 255 to 837; 1 East,
P. C. 214 to 391; Com. Dig. Justices, L. M.; Bac. Ab. Murder and Homicide;
Burn's Just. h.t.; Williams' Just. h.t.; 2 Chit. Cr. Law, ch. 9; Cro. C.
C. 285 to 300; 4 Bl. Com. to 204; 1 Russ. Cr. 421 to 553; 2 Swift's Dig. 267

EXCUSABLE HOMICIDE
(bouvier) | EXCUSABLE HOMICIDE, crim. law. The killing of a human being, when the party
killing is not altogether free from blame, but the necessity which renders
it excusable, may be said to be partly induce by his own act. 1 East, P. C.
220.
|
JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE
(bouvier) | JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE. That which is committed with the intention to kill, or
to do a grievous bodily injury, under circumstances which the law holds
sufficient to exculpate the person who commits it.
2. It is justifiable, 1. When a judge or other magistrate acts in
obedience to the law. 2. When a ministerial officer acts in obedience to a
lawful warrant, issued by a competent tribunal. 3. When a subaltern officer,
or soldier, kills in obedience to the lawful commands of his superior. 4.
When the party kills in lawful self-defence.
3.-1. A judge who, in pursuance of his duty, pronounces sentence of
death, is not guilty of homicide; for it is evident, that as the law
prescribes the punishment of death for certain offences, it must protect
those who are entrusted with its execution. A judge, therefore, who
pronounces sentence of death, in a legal manner, on a legal indictment,
legally brought before him, for a capital offence committed within his
jurisdiction, after a lawful trial and conviction, of the defendant, is
guilty of no offence.
4.-2. Magistrates, or other officers entrusted with the preservation
of the public peace, are justified in committing homicide, or giving orders
which lead to it, if the excesses of a riotous assembly cannot be otherwise
be repressed.
5-2. An officer entrusted with a legal warrant, criminal or civil,
and lawfully commanded by a competent tribunal to execute it, will be
justified in committing homicide, if, in the course of advancing to
discharge his duty, he be brought into such perils that, without doing so,
he cannot either save his life, or discharge the duty which he is commanded
by the warrant to perform. And when the warrant commands him to put a
criminal to death, he is justified in obeying it.
6.-3. A soldier on duty is justified in committing homicide, in
obedience to the command of his officer, unless the command was something
plainly unlawful.
7.-4. A private individual will, in many cases, be justified in
committing homicide, while acting in self-defence. See Self-defence. Vide,
generally, 1 East, P. C. 219; Hawk. B. 1, c. 28, s. 1, n. 22; Alis. Prin.
126-139; 1 Russ. on Cr. 538; Bac. Ab. Murder, &c., E; 2 Wash. C. C. 515; 4
Mass. 891; 1 Hawk's R. 210; 1 Coxe's R. 424; 5 Yerg. 459; 9 C. & P. 22; S. C.
