A quick definition of felonious homicide:

Felonious Homicide: When one person kills another person without any legal justification or excuse, it is called homicide. Felonious homicide is a type of homicide that is committed unlawfully and is punishable by law. This includes murder and manslaughter. Murder is when someone intentionally kills another person without any legal justification or excuse. Manslaughter is when someone kills another person without intending to do so, but their actions were reckless or negligent.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Felonious homicide is the killing of one person by another without legal justification or excuse. It includes both murder and manslaughter.

Murder: A person intentionally kills another person without any legal justification or excuse. For example, if someone plans and carries out a shooting, that would be considered murder.
Manslaughter: A person kills another person without intending to do so, but their actions were still reckless or negligent. For example, if someone is driving under the influence and causes a fatal accident, that would be considered manslaughter.

These examples illustrate how felonious homicide includes both intentional and unintentional killings, as long as there is no legal justification or excuse for the act.
