Manslaughter Attorney In Fayetteville, Arkansas
What Is Manslaughter?
Although legal definitions can differ from state to state, manslaughter generally refers to the unlawful killing of another person without lawful justification, such as self-defense. In many situations, it does not involve malice unless the act occurs in the heat of passion following a sudden conflict—this is known as voluntary manslaughter. Involuntary manslaughter happens when a death results from an unlawful act or from extremely reckless behavior during an otherwise lawful activity.
