There are two distinct categories for manslaughter charges in Minnesota: voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter.
- Voluntary Manslaughter: The more serious of the two and involves a situation where a defendant intentionally causes the death of another person, but the criminal liability of the defendant is reduced according to the specific circumstances surrounding the act. For example, a defendant who, in the heat of passion, intentionally takes another person’s life would likely face voluntary manslaughter rather than murder charges.
- Involuntary manslaughter: Lessserious than voluntary manslaughter and often involves a situation where the defendant caused the death of another person and this was not committed purposefully but rather as the result of recklessness or negligence. A drunk driver who causes a fatal car accident, for example, may face involuntary manslaughter charges.
Legal counsel is absolutely crucial in the face of manslaughter charges, particularly when you consider the fact that you may face up to 10 or 15 years in prison, possibly more, if you are convicted. This will literally change your life, and may result in more than the loss of your freedom – as you face severe financial difficulties, a ruined career, and difficulty finding employment long after you have served your sentence in full. An experienced attorney can help you challenge your manslaughter charges and work to help you avoid a conviction altogether.
