But your statement was, "You kill, you die."
You are very confused regarding our legal system. The federal prisons are full of white collar criminals who had plenty of money, big, fine houses, foreign sports cars, imported food on their table along with someone to cook it for them, and all of the finer things in life. How do you account for them being in prison if your reasoning is true?
A prison a sanctuary? Please! You need to visit one sometime.

You misunderstood me. You're speaking with a mindset of common man going to prison who have a lot to lose. I said in my previous post - "
actually - USA Prisons are one big vacation because criminals who go there do not have decent life in public. They do not have any money, no shelter, no food, nothing. That's why they commit senseless crimes because they just don't care anymore. Prisons are their sanctuary."
Take a guess what kind of people are they? Yes the poor, uneducated people. I have no concern for white collar criminals going to jail. They deserve what they get. They do not kill people for nothing and they take every measure to avoid getting caught. I'm talking about thugs who kill people for nothing because they simply don't care about ramifications of their actions. Obviously - they have nothing to lose. White collar criminals do.
Actually manslaughter is technically not accidental death but you kill unpremeditated. The justice system has no category to put accidental killing in so they choose manslaughter with different degrees.
A thief robbing a store and then ran out, bumped into somebody but killed him anyway and then ran away. That's
homicide or can also be called
manslaughter. A drunk driver killing an innocent by mistake. That's
Involuntary Manslaughter. A doctor knowingly gave patient a tainted drug that may or may not result in death and then the patient died. That's
Criminally Negligent Manslaughter.
A person with agenda to plot to kill someone is murder. Each state/city has their own interpretation of law but those definitions are pretty similar in most ways.
Let me ask you. Am I correct - you do not support
mercy killing, do you? (Doctor/Family Member mercifully killing terminally-ill patient when the patient requested for it)
