What does manslaughter mean?

Manslaughter is a legal term for the killing of a human being, in a manner considered by law as less culpable than murder. Manslaughter is usually broken down into two distinct categories: voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter. Voluntary manslaughter occurs when the defendant kills with a guilty mind (intention to kill or cause serious harm), but there are mitigating circumstances which reduce culpability. Voluntary manslaughter is a lesser included offense of murder. Involuntary manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without a guilty mind. It is distinguished from voluntary manslaughter by the absence of intention. It is normally divided into two categories; constructive manslaughter and criminally negligent manslaughter.
