Haven’t seen any more info on the juvenile record. Not sure we will for quite some time, but after things die down considerable I suspect some author will get those records a year or more down the line.

Involuntary manslaughter is stuff like killing someone running a red light, or while driving drunk; or a builder using materials he shouldn’t have; or a manager not keeping smoke detectors up to date. Law-breaking that doesn’t ordinarily kill people, or negligence, in other words, where there’s no evidence someone’s death was ever intended.

If Brown was an accomplice to a robber that went bad, and one of the other robbers shot and killed someone, he could have been charged with involuntary manslaughter. If he did the shooting, however, I think that would be an A or B felony. But I’m no lawyer, so maybe if he shot someone who died but they could show that wasn’t his intent, a ricochet or something, maybe he could have gotten off with involuntary manslaughter? Dunno.
