Is involuntary manslaughter a federal felony?

Answer 1

A felony. Felony 3. There are several factors also involved such aggravating and mitigating factors. The sentence can go as high as life depending on the persons criminal background. There is also "the heat of passion" where a person is provoked out of rage. Each state varies on the penalty. It is most definitely murder and homocide…This is prison time and murder is murder…you take a life, you pay with yours.

Answer 2

In most states, any charges related to the death of another human being will be charged as a Felony. "Manslaughter" indicates a death that was due to involuntary external causes (i.e. not suicide) in which there was no direct intent to cause the death (i.e. not murder with intent or by heat of passion).

Manslaughter includes negligent manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter.

For example: You shoot a gun in the air on New Year's eve and a bullet kills someone blocks away when it falls. Your recklessness killed a person, but with no malicious intent it's not Murder, but involuntary manslaughter.

If you drink at a friend's house and are impaired when you drive away, then kill someone whilst impaired, it's classified as Vehicular manslaughter.

Hope that answers your question.
