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)
