The main difference between murder and manslaughter comes down to intent. To be accused of manslaughter does not require one to have intentionally decided to commit the crime, but having acted recklessly while aware that there was an unjustified risk of death due to your actions. What a manslaughter charge and a murder charge do share, however, is that if convicted, you will face serious charges that will have a severely negative impact on the rest of your life.
If you, or someone close to you, has been accused of manslaughter, there is no time to wait. The longer you hold off on hiring representation, the less likely you are to get a fair hearing and reduced or dropped charges. However, when seeking a defense lawyer to take on your case, you don’t want to hire just anyone.
