California - Manslaughter – Involuntary Defense Lawyer

Arrested for Manslaughter – Involuntary?

Manslaughter is the unlawful, but unplanned, killing of another person. Manslaughter is usually broken into two categories:

• Voluntary and involuntary manslaughter
• Voluntary manslaughter

This arises in cases where the defendant may have an intent to cause death or serious injury, but the potential liability for murder is mitigated by the application of a defense.
This is where death occurs due to recklessness or criminal negligence with no intention to kill or cause serious injury.

Involuntary manslaughter is the act of unlawfully killing another human being unintentionally. Most unintentional killings are not murder but involuntary manslaughter. The absence of the element of intent is the key distinguishing factor between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter.

There is two types of involuntary manslaughter:

When someone is killed due to the criminal negligence of another.

The second form of involuntary manslaughter is when someone is killed during the commission of a crime where the intent was not to cause bodily injury or death.
