When a homicide offense takes place without premeditation, manslaughter charges can result. If there is never any intent to kill another person, involuntary manslaughter charges are likely, however if one person kills another in the heat of the moment, and intends to kill that person, voluntary manslaughter charges are possible. While the maximum sentence for voluntary and involuntary manslaughter are technically the same, most judges view voluntary manslaughter cases more harshly, and it is much more likely that you receive a sentence closer to the maximum than it would be if you were charged with involuntary manslaughter.
