Vehicular manslaughter is a type of involuntary manslaughter which does not require the element of an intention to kill. The only difference between a vehicular homicide and other homicides is the use of a motor vehicle as a weapon, as opposed to a gun or knife. This does not change in any way the elements required to be proved for murder. As long as the elements for murder can be proved, a vehicular homicide defendant can be tried for murder just like someone who uses a gun. written by Darren Kavinoky

Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus, with malice aforethought. There are two types of murder: murder in the first degree and murder in the second degree. In order to bring murder charges, the victim must die within a year of the crime causing his death. Murder is defined in Penal Code Section 187. written by Darren Kavinoky
Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of another person, without having the intention to kill (known as malice aforethought-a prior intention to kill). Manslaughter may be either voluntary or involuntary. Voluntary manslaughter is generally defined as a killing occurring upon a sudden impulse. Involuntary manslaughter is generally defined as an unlawful act which causes death, but would not ordinarily be expected to result in great bodily harm or death. written by Darren Kavinoky
