What Is Manslaughter?

Manslaughter in Arizona is committed in one of five ways. A person commits manslaughter by recklessly causing the death of another person. Manslaughter can also occur when a person commits second degree murder in a sudden quarrel or heat of passion resulting from adequate provocation by the victim. Providing the physical means that another person uses to commit suicide, with the knowledge that the person intends to commit suicide, is also considered manslaughter. If a person commits second degree murder while being coerced to do so by the use or threatened immediate use of unlawful deadly physical force on the person or a third person that a reasonable person in his situation would have been unable to resist, it is considered manslaughter. Lastly, knowingly or recklessly causing the death of an unborn child by any physical injury to the mother is considered manslaughter.

What Penalties Might I Face?

Manslaughter is a Class 2 Felony under Arizona law. The penalties for manslaughter depend on the facts of the case, the accused's criminal history, and whether the offense is classified as "dangerous." An offense is classified as dangerous if it involves the use of a dangerous weapon or deadly instrument. Not Not all manslaughters will be considered dangerous as charges can arise from bar fights to DUIs gone terribly wrong. Manslaughter convictions can result in sentences up to 35 years and, in some circumstances, life in prison.
