Posse Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Whats the difference in manslaughter and murdering someone ? Why im asking is the case thats going on with Jo Yeates . Vincent Tabak admits manslaughter but not murdering here wtf surely strangling someone to death is murder?
turnover Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 yeah but will get 5 yrs for manslaughter not 15 to 20 thats why admits to it
popeye Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 if you have the intent to kill it's murder if you don't intend to kill but do it's manslaughter its a bit like some one saying they will send you a tee shirt, an don't you say you will kill them,and do ....thats murder
Posse Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Posted October 13, 2011 yeah but will get 5 yrs for manslaughter not 15 to 20 thats why admits to it Is it me or is that crazy shit? I pushed her in front of a train but didn't mean to murder her ?
Admin Vista Posted October 13, 2011 Admin Report Posted October 13, 2011 Murder is premeditated and manslaughter is generally accepted as having been done on the spur of the moment, i.e. the perpetrator had no intent to kill. Just to complicate it further, manslaughter is further subdivided into voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary is where some one did intend to kill but there are mitigating circumstances which reduce the amount of blame (provocation for instance in the case of an abused wife killing her husband). Or where the perpetrator intended to cause serious harm but not death. Involuntary manslaughter is the unlawful killing of another person that wasn't premeditated. Think you've got it now? Well no because involuntary manslaughter is further broken down into constructive and criminally negligent. Which I shan't go into any further Oh and if that isn't confusing enough, across the pond they have murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, and a whole bunch of other names for different types of manslaughter.
