The first type of manslaughter charge is voluntary manslaughter, which does not involve premeditation like a murder offense would, but still involves intent to kill. If one person intentionally kills another person in the heat of the moment or during a fight, voluntary manslaughter charges will likely occur.
Involuntary manslaughter, on the other hand, is a charge that results when one person kills another unintentionally. The offender may mean to bring harm to the other person, or put them in fear, but if death occurs manslaughter charges will still result.
Though a distinction is made between these two offenses, and juries and judges may decide upon different sentences accordingly, all manslaughter offenses are governed by the same law, contained in Section 750.321. As a result, the same felony status and serious maximum penalties can result in any manslaughter case in Ann Arbor, regardless of if intent is involved or not.
