Voluntary Manslaughter
Voluntary manslaughter occurs in the heat of the moment, often as a result of sudden provocation or the imperfect self-defense of the accused. While still a serious offense, voluntary manslaughter charges may carry lesser penalties compared to murder charges.
Involuntary Manslaughter
Involuntary manslaughter typically refers to unintentional killings resulting from reckless or negligent behavior. This charge may arise in situations where the accused did not intend to cause harm but acted in a manner that displayed a disregard for human life.
