I understand that murder requires malice aforethought but I heard a while back that 2 factors contributed to a homicide which is considered "murder." I just can't seem to remember what those 2 things were. Can anyone help me? Also, besides the "malice aforethought" what's the difference between murder and manslaughter?

Try malice AND forethought.
Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine

Look up the definitions in your state codes/statutes. Do a search on Google.

MURDER and MANSLAGHTER are CHARGES, like CAPITAL MURDER,1st DEGREE MURDER, etc..ITS a HOMICIDE regardless of how the person died as long as its caused by an action of another person, IT WILL VARY by each states STATUTES, however I THINK THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION YOU ARE TRYING TO ASK, is INTENT, without INTENT in most cases it could be "lowered" to a MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE....
