A quick definition of negligent manslaughter:

Term: Negligent Manslaughter

Definition: Negligent manslaughter is when someone causes the death of another person without intending to do so, but through criminal negligence or while committing a crime that is not considered murder. It is also called involuntary manslaughter or second-degree manslaughter. This means that the person did not mean to kill anyone, but their actions were careless or reckless and caused someone to die. It is different from murder because there was no intention to kill.

A more thorough explanation:

Negegligent manslaughter is a type of involuntary manslaughter where a person causes the death of another person due to criminal negligence or during the commission of a crime that is not included in the felony-murder rule. It is also known as second-degree manslaughter or manslaughter in the second degree.

For example, if a person is driving under the influence of alcohol and causes a fatal car accident, they could be charged with negligent manslaughter. Another example is if a person is handling a firearm recklessly and accidentally shoots and kills someone.

These examples illustrate the definition of negligent manslaughter because in both cases, the person did not intend to kill anyone, but their actions were criminally negligent and resulted in the death of another person.
