Assault and manslaghter are two seperate crimes. Multiple charges can (and do) arise from the same incident. It happens all the time.

If that's the case, why aren't people convicted of first-degree murder and second-degree murder or second-degree murder and assault (for instance) at the same time? Not doubting you - I'm genuinely curious.
