As much as I hate and disrespect this jerk, he didn’t mean to kill her.

I didn't mean to is not a defense. It's not as if it ricocheted....he pointed it at her and pulled the trigger. It was NOT an accident.

I'm still trying to figure out why he pointed the gun at her in the first place. It was NOT part of any scene.

“As much as I hate and disrespect this jerk, he didn’t mean to kill her.”

You have no way of knowing that but let’s accept it as true anyway.

That’s why it could be involuntary manslaughter.

So what did he “ mean” to do to her?
Scare her?
Annoy her?
Show anger or contempt toward her?
Make her smile?

What would you think if someone…possibly an angry or annoyed someone, or a condescending bully…pointed a gun directly at you? Even a “ prop”?
Feel easy with that?

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Too bad. That has nothing to do with his behavior...if i drive drunk and kill someone i certainly didnt mean to

Completely irrelevant; anyone handling a firearm for ANY REASON is fully responsible for what happens with that firearm!

Even primitive people have been demonstrated to understand that firearms are weapons designed for destroying a target or an enemy.

I don’t care if it’s a 50 megaton thermonuclear bomb, a 105 millimeter howitzer, or a sling shot; if it’s in your hands and you discharge it, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE IT DOES!!!!

That's why it's called involuntary manslaughter.
