Manslaughter Attorney In Southern California
What Is Manslaughter?
While legal definitions can vary significantly between different states, manslaughter generally refers to the unlawful killing of another person without any lawful justification, such as self-defense or other extenuating circumstances. This category of homicide encompasses both voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. In many cases, manslaughter does not involve malice unless it occurs in the heat of passion immediately following a confrontation—this scenario is often referred to as “voluntary manslaughter.”
On the other hand, involuntary manslaughter typically involves a death that results from either an unlawful act or from reckless behavior during the commission of a lawful act, highlighting the nuances within this serious legal charge.
Manslaughter charges carry severe consequences, both legally and personally, making it essential to have a dedicated criminal law team that has a proven history of standing up for clients who are facing these serious allegations.
