“For the individual, it means a great deal,” Griesmer said. “A felony adjudication for someone who is 16 years or older is something that is going to be able to be seen in a history check on a person.”

So they downgraded it all to misdemeanor charges???

From the definition, "involuntary manslaughter is 'unintentional', because the killer did not intend for a death to result from their intentional actions." In Delaware, the statute calls that "Criminally Negligent Homicide" (code section 631) which is a class D felony. Voluntary manslaughter would be where the death is intended.

I can see where the court determined the death was a surprise to the perp, but to dismiss the charge rather than have it re-adjudicated is a miscarriage of justice. So it appears the Court emoted about that poor, poor beotch who killed the girl with malice aforethought, not wanting to ruin her life. But a life was ruined, permanently.

WTF?

because the killer did not intend for a death to result from their intentional actions.

The PIAPs defense. "didn't intend too." (It replaced "I don't recall.")
