Exactly what part of “a killing caused by dangerous conduct and the offender’s obvious lack of concern for human life” do you not understand? Intent need not apply.

If a guy has a blood alcohol of .2, how much concern is possible? That is why the DUI example is in the involuntary manslaughter text above.

And what part of “Involuntary manslaughter usually refers to an unintentional killing that results from recklessness or criminal negligence, or from an unlawful act that is a misdemeanor or low-level felony (such as DUI). The usual distinction from voluntary manslaughter is that involuntary manslaughter (sometimes called “criminally negligent homicide”) is a crime in which the victim’s death is unintended.” don’t you understand?
