Voluntary Manslaughter Ohio

Manslaughter is typically divided into two categories: voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary manslaughter is a lesser offense than a standard murder charge wherein some form of provocation is involved. Voluntary manslaughter takes place when, in a sudden fit of rage, one person is provoked into using deadly force against the victim. Such a crime is a first-degree felony.

Involuntary Manslaughter Ohio Sentence

Involuntary manslaughter differs from voluntary manslaughter in that there is a lack of intent to injure/kill. It can occur when while either driving a car, committing a minor crime, or any other activity, a perpetrator causes another person's death. Involuntary manslaughter can lead to five years in jail if committed while committing a misdemeanor. If during the commission of a felony, it can result in 10 years in jail.
