WHAT??? You mean they can change the charges in midstream?? Its like they are saying...Gee we cant get him for this, lets try to get him for this. This can be changed in mid trial? HOW UNFAIR is that???? In a case like this, there are often "lesser included charges". Manslaughter is a lesser included charge to Murder 2. Murder 2 means you intentionally kill someone with malice, but not pre-meditated (That would be Murder 1.) Manslaughter means you killed someone without a legal justification, but not with malice. Involuntary manslaughter is when you accidentally kill someone.
