Manslaughter: Voluntary vs. Involuntary

Charged with manslaughter in Lawrenceville?

In our state, manslaughter can be charged in two ways:

  • Involuntary Manslaughter – when an individual is killed unintentionally by the illegal, reckless or careless actions of another person. This can be charged as a misdemeanor and result in a prison sentence of less than one year in certain scenarios.
  • Voluntary Manslaughter – when another person, out of vengeance or violent passion, kills an individual intentionally. A typical example of this is in a case of adultery, when a spouse, who is otherwise considered a reasonable individual, commits this crime in a period of rage. This crime is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

In either case, if you or a loved one has recently been arrested, or is the subject of a pre-charge investigation for manslaughter, it is imperative that you immediately seek the legal representation of our competent lead Lawrenceville criminal attorney, Robert Booker, who can move forward with the actions necessary to defend your case.
