A quick definition of culpable homicide:

Culpable homicide is when one person causes the death of another person. It can be done on purpose, by accident, or because of negligence. It is against the law and can result in punishment. There are different types of culpable homicide, such as murder, manslaughter, and negligent homicide. Murder is the most serious type and is when someone intentionally kills another person without a good reason. Manslaughter is when someone kills another person, but it was not intentional or premeditated. Negligent homicide is when someone causes the death of another person because they were careless or did not take proper precautions.

A more thorough explanation:

Culpable homicide is a legal term that refers to the act of causing the death of another person. It can be either lawful or unlawful. Unlawful culpable homicide includes murder and manslaughter, which are crimes punishable by law.

For example, if someone intentionally kills another person, it is considered murder. If someone kills another person without intending to do so, but their actions were reckless or negligent, it is considered manslaughter.

On the other hand, lawful culpable homicide includes cases where the killing was done in self-defense or to prevent a crime. These cases are not considered crimes because the law permits or mandates them.

For instance, if someone kills an intruder who is threatening their life, it is considered justifiable homicide. Similarly, if a police officer kills a suspect who is posing a threat to public safety, it is considered a lawful act.

Overall, culpable homicide is a complex legal concept that involves different types of killings and circumstances. It is important to understand the distinctions between them to determine the appropriate legal consequences.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
