Homicide offenses are always to be taken extremely seriously, even when intent was never involved at any point during the case. Manslaughter in Kalamazoo cases already exclude those cases involving premeditated intent, yet are further divided into two additional categories, voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. While the maximum penalties for each are the same, there are different judicial and societal attitudes concerning the two types of manslaughter offense which could impact the outcome of a case.

While there is a distinction between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter, it is critical to note that both can result in the same serious penalties, and it is completely at the court’s discretion to determine what potential sentence you will face. Manslaughter by definition lacks premeditated intent, however voluntary manslaughter still does involve intent to kill, but only arising from “heat of the moment” situations, and with no premeditation or planning. Involuntary manslaughter can thus be defined as “accidental” manslaughter, or causing death without any intent, at any point during the offense.
