You could also be convicted of first degree murder if you kill a police officer or guard employee at a prison.

You could be facing second degree murder if the murder is with intent but not premeditated and outside the manner of the first degree murder boundaries. Second degree murder comes with up to 40 years in prison.

Third degree murder comes with up to 25 years in prison.
