While legal definitions vary across state jurisdictions, manslaughter involves the unlawful killing of another person without any lawful justification, such as self-defense. In most cases, it doesn’t involve malice unless it arises in the heat of passion after a quarrel. In this case, it’s called “voluntary manslaughter.” Involuntary manslaughter occurs when a death occurs during an unlawful act or during a lawful act where extremely reckless behavior gives rise to death. It’s a serious charge. You need a criminal lawyer with a record of success defending clients in manslaughter cases.
