Manslaughter Offences our lawyers can help with:
Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a person without the intention to cause death. This can happen as a result of carelessness, recklessness, or negligence. However, it's important to note that in some cases, the act of killing may be intentional, but happened under extreme circumstances such as intense provocation or when a person's mental state impairs their ability to understand or control their actions. If a charge of manslaughter arises from circumstances that could also fit the criteria of murder, such as provocation or diminished responsibility, then the charge may be reduced to manslaughter.
