发帖数: 3662 | 2 Manslaughter is also a form of criminal homicide. The difference between
murder and manslaughter is in the element of intent. In order to commit
voluntary manslaughter, a person must have committed a homicide, but have
acted in the "heat of passion." This mental state must have been caused by
legally sufficient provocation that would cause a reasonable person of
ordinary temperament to lose self-control. To convict a person of
manslaughter, it must be proved that the person who committed the homicide
had adequate provocation (this cannot involve words alone), acted in the
heat of passion, and lacked the opportunity to cool that passion. There must
also be a connection between the incident of provocation, the heat of
passion, and the act that caused the homicide.
Involuntary manslaughter is manslaughter resulting from a failure to perform
a legal duty expressly required to safeguard human life, from the
commission of an unlawful act not amounting to a felony, or from the
commission of an act involving a risk of injury or death that is done in an
unlawful, reckless, or grossly negligent manner. Involuntary manslaughter is
a relatively new legal concept. Its exact definition varies greatly by
jurisdiction, and is sometimes known as second- or third-degree manslaughter.
In order to convict someone of either murder or manslaughter, the distinct
elements of each crime must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, and the
actions of the perpetrator cannot be explained or excused by any legal
defense, excuse, or justification. Murder and manslaughter also differ in
the sentences imposed for each crime. As the perpetrator of manslaughter is
assumed to have evidenced less mental culpability, the sentence for
manslaughter is usually less than that for murder.
