Manslaughter

Read a random definition: de nativo habendo

A quick definition of Manslaughter:

Manslaughter is when someone causes the death of another person, but it is not as bad as murder. There are two types of manslaughter: voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary manslaughter is when someone kills another person in the heat of the moment because they were provoked. Involuntary manslaughter is when someone accidentally causes the death of another person. Sometimes, if someone kills another person because they were very upset or disturbed, it can also be considered manslaughter.

A more thorough explanation:

Manslaughter is a type of killing that is less serious than murder. It is the act of killing another person without intending to do so or without planning it in advance.

There are two types of manslaughter:

  • Voluntary manslaughter: This is when someone kills another person in the heat of passion, usually in response to something that provoked them. For example, if someone walks in on their spouse cheating and kills the other person in a fit of rage, it could be considered voluntary manslaughter.
  • Involuntary manslaughter: This is when someone causes the death of another person through negligence or recklessness. For example, if someone is driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol and causes a fatal car accident, it could be considered involuntary manslaughter.

Under the Model Penal Code, manslaughter can also include homicide that would be murder, but is committed under extreme emotional or mental distress for which there is a reasonable explanation or excuse.

Here are some examples of manslaughter:

  • A construction worker accidentally drops a heavy tool from a high building, and it hits and kills a pedestrian below.
  • A doctor administers the wrong medication to a patient, causing their death.
  • A person is driving recklessly and causes a fatal car accident.
  • A person gets into a physical fight with someone and unintentionally kills them.

These examples illustrate how manslaughter can occur without the intent to kill. In each case, the person did not plan to cause the death of another person, but their actions resulted in someone's death.

Is that a trick question? They gave up Kwa-me Brown, who cares? I could care less! First of all, understand something. When you're giving up first round picks, if you are a quality team in playoff contention, it really doesn't mean that much, that's number one. Number two and more importantly, Kwame Brown is gone! The City of Angels, Hollywood should be celebrating. Throw a parade already whether you win a championship or not. This man was a bonafide scrub! He can't play! No disrespect whatsoever, but I'm sorry to call, tell everybody the truth, the man cannot play the game of basketball. He has small hands, he can't catch the ball, he has bad feet, he can't really move even though he's mobile, doesn't really know what he's doing, doesn't have a post move that he or he puts to memory that he can do two times in a row. He has no game whatsoever, plays no defense, doesn't have the heart, the passion or anything that comes with it, and you're asking me whether they gave up too much? Please
