Hate to ask...But how the hell does involuntary manslaughter work?

Involuntary manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice aforethought. It is distinguished from voluntary manslaughter by the absence of intention. It is normally divided into two categories; constructive manslaughter and criminally negligent manslaughter.

Where voluntary manslaughter
Voluntary manslaughter occurs either when the defendant kills with malice aforethought (intention to kill or cause serious harm), but there are mitigating circumstances which reduce culpability, or when the defendant kills only with an intent to cause serious bodily harm. Voluntary manslaughter in some jurisdictions is a lesser included offense of murder. The traditional mitigating factor was provocation; however, others have been added in various jurisdictions.

[edit]Laws in the United States
There have been many types of voluntary manslaughter. These have not been differentiated here as they are so closely related or indistinguishable that many US jurisdictions do not differentiate between them.[2] The following are some examples of defenses which may be raised to mitigate murder to voluntary manslaughter:

Provocation: A killing which occurs after provocation by an event which would cause a reasonable person to lose self-control. There must not be a cooling off period negating provocation. If there is an interval between the provocation and killing sufficient to allow the passion of a reasonable person to cool, the homicide is not manslaughter, but murder.

Imperfect self-defense: Allowed only in a limited number of jurisdictions in the United States, self-defense is a complete defense to murder.[clarification needed (see talk page)] However, a person who acted in self defense with an honest but unreasonable belief that deadly force was necessary to do so could still be convicted of voluntary manslaughter or deliberate homicide committed without criminal malice. Malice is found if a person killed intentionally and without legal excuse or mitigation.

Diminished capacity is a defense which serves to negate the mental state of "malice". If a jurisdiction recognizes that a person can kill without justification, but also without any evil intent, for example due to a mental defect or mental illness, that jurisdiction is free to define the crime as something less than murder. This partial defense is only available in some US jurisdictions and not others; whereas the complete defense of insanity is available throughout the US, but rarely used because it is more difficult to show.

God's speed Conrad Murray, shame your defence was appalling. While I won't go as far as saying you did the world a favour killing that creep, I'm not that far off from saying it.

I think it's a safe bet to say that MJ fiddled with kids.

It amazes me how many people have such a short memory.

Well no doc should be using propovol as a sleeping drug.
No doc in the uk wouldmuse it outside a hospital environment.

Conrad murraynhas very odd eyes, too far apart, not revelant just odd.

MJ is dead as his doc did was he was asked to do and was paid to do.
People should have known better.
 
There was only ever going to be one result that people would have called justice.
People forget exactly how much money and influence MJ actually had! If the doctor had refused, he would have been sacked, and a doctor found that did what he was told. Probably Dr. Nick (1-800-DOCTORB)

With death usually.

Picture having a spasm in the car and accidently mowing through a childrens playground sending them flying like skittles. That would be by definition involuntary manslaughter.

Ah, fair point.

So involuntary manslaughter is manslaughter as people expect it really then :p

Voluntary manslaughter is basically "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHH i'm going to kill you!!!!...Oh no wait! Too late :("
 
It is a bit harsh, but as I understand it he was using a drug, be it Jackson knowing or not knowing about it, and it basically shouldn't have been happening.

I believe it's an allegation, not a fact. Unless you know something we don't?

Exactly. Those 2 kid's parents were looking to cash in big time and they did. It's all about money with people in general and they don't care what they have to say to get it.

Erm given these allegations I would spend my money to prove my innocence.

Who would want these allegations hanging over them if they were innocent?
