Los Angeles Criminal Defense

Manslaughter

When facing Felony charges for manslaughter or misdemeanor charges for vehicular manslaughter in California you need Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys who know the criminal law and criminal defenses to manslaughter.

California Criminal Law puts the burden on the District Attorney to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the unlawful killing of a human being without malice in order to prove Manslaughter.

California Criminal Law has three types of Manslaughter: Voluntary, Involuntary, and Vehicular Manslaughter.

When the killing is with the intent to kill or with conscious disregard for human life, but is the result of a sudden quarrel or the heat of passion, or in imperfect self-defense or imperfect defense of others, it's voluntary manslaughter.

When the killing is without malice and is committed while doing an illegal act not amounting to a felony or a legal act with criminal negligence it is involuntary manslaughter.
