But not generally of manslaughter, except involuntary manslaughter. Was manslaughter the original charge?
Well, you got a point there.
I don’t know the answer. And I don’t know how the penalties compare for manslaughter vs involuntary manslaughter. Nor do I know how the definitions of the two kinds of manslaughter compare. I would probably support the lesser of the two charges for mr white and base that position on my present ignorance of the matter.
This throws a whole new curve into my assessment of the shooting. If I were on the jury and had to decide guilty or not guilty, and the DA went after the guy for a charge that was too stiff, I’d probably find him not guilty...even though I personally think he should be punished for what he did. If he’s charged with the wrong offense, I’d vote not guilty.
