Kentucky Criminal Law And Justice System Practice Test

Which KRS statute corresponds to murder?

KRS 507.040 KRS 507.020 KRS 508.040 KRS 505.050

Correct Answer:

KRS 507.020

Explanation:

Murder in Kentucky is defined under the criminal homicide chapter, with the specific statute number 507.020 codifying the offense. This is the statute that identifies murder as an offense and sets the elements associated with it. The other options correspond to different homicide-related offenses or entirely different crimes, so they do not represent the statute for murder itself. Therefore, the correct statute is 507.020.
