first-degree manslaughter

Read a random definition: claim

A quick definition of first-degree manslaughter:

First-degree manslaughter is a type of crime where someone unlawfully kills another person without planning to do so beforehand. This is different from murder, which involves premeditation or intent to kill. First-degree manslaughter can also be called culpable homicide in some places. There are other types of manslaughter, such as voluntary and involuntary manslaughter, which involve different circumstances. Involuntary manslaughter is when someone accidentally causes someone else's death, while voluntary manslaughter is when someone kills another person in the heat of the moment or in self-defense.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: First-degree manslaughter is a type of manslaughter, which is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice aforethought. It is also known as culpable homicide in some jurisdictions. Unlike murder, there is no intention to kill or do grievous bodily harm.

Examples: One example of first-degree manslaughter is when a person kills another person in the heat of passion, such as during a sudden fight. Another example is when a person causes the death of another person while committing a crime, such as a robbery or burglary.

Explanation: In both examples, there is no premeditation or intent to kill. The killing is done in the heat of the moment or during the commission of another crime. However, the act is still considered unlawful and punishable by law. First-degree manslaughter is a serious crime that can result in a lengthy prison sentence.
