Manslaughter

Cases involving manslaughter are different from those involving murder, but require an equally experienced criminal defense and manslaugher attorney to ensure you are treated fairly and justice is truly served. Where murder requires intention, malice, or reckless disregard for human life, manslaughter can be entirely unintentional. Nonetheless, a conviction of manslaughter can have life-long consequences including jail time, restitution, and years of probation. The dedicated manslaughter lawyers at The Cochran Firm South Florida are devoted to providing people charged with manslaughter professional and exceptional representation in these cases.

Types of Manslaughter

There are three types of manslaughter you can be charged with:

• Involuntary manslaughter – involuntary manslaughter occurs when an otherwise reasonable person acts in a way that is criminally negligent or reckless, resulting in the accidental death of someone else
• Voluntary manslaughter – voluntary manslaughter results when a person is provoked in rage and takes a life, often in the “heat of passion.” In these instances, there was no malice or forethought that went into the killing, separating this charge from murder
• Vehicular manslaughter – vehicular manslaughter occurs when a driver acts in a negligent or reckless manner, and someone else is killed as a result. Often, these cases involve drugs or alcohol
