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
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
