Texas defines criminal homicide differently than other states. Using the internet or Nexis Uni, research and identify homicide statutes for Texas and 2 other states. Texas has 4 levels of homicide. Be certain to explain all 4. Explain all levels for each of the other 2 states as well.
Compare and contrast the laws of the 3 states explaining and defining the levels of homicide in each state and the punishments accorded to each level. Explain any special terms, circumstances or variations in the laws (for example Texas does not use the term premeditation, but others do. Define that and explain how it is applied in the state(s) that use that term.) You may present your research in a word document, a spreadsheet or a Powerpoint presentation.
Be certain to correctly CITE any reference sources used.
