[QUOTE="texan, post: 955070, member: 38206"] [B]I have watched and read through each post. I Googled a lot of both sides. I do not know that I know what occured. But it is [COLOR=#FF0000]possible[/COLOR] to me that once Zimmerman left that auto, this[COLOR=#FF0000] might [/COLOR]apply: Manslaughter[/B] is a legal term for the killing of a human being, in a manner considered by law as less culpable than murder. The distinction between murder and manslaughter is said to have first been made by the Ancient Athenian lawmaker Draco in the 7th century BC. The law generally differentiates between levels of criminal culpability based on the [I]mens rea[/I], or state of mind. This is particularly true within the law of homicide, where murder requires either the intent to kill – a state of mind called [I]malice[/I], or [I]malice aforethought[/I] – or the knowledge that one's actions are likely to result in death; manslaughter, on the other hand, requires a lack of any prior intention to kill or create a deadly situation. Manslaughter is usually broken down into two distinct categories: [I]voluntary manslaughter[/I] and [I]involuntary manslaughter[/I]. In states such as Florida, manslaughter is not broken down this way. In Florida, manslaughter, defined as: [I]The killing of a human being by the act, procurement, or culpable negligence of another, [COLOR=#FF0000][B]without[/B] [B]lawful justification[/B] [/COLOR]according to the provisions of chapter 776 and in cases in which such killing shall not be excusable homicide or murder . . .[/I] is a second degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in state prison regardless of whether [B][COLOR=#FF0000]the act may have been intentional or not.[/COLOR][/B][SUP][SIZE=2][B][COLOR=#FF0000][[/COLOR][/B]2][/SIZE][/SUP] If manslaughter is committed upon a child via culpable negligence under FL statute 827.03(3), then the crime is aggravated manslaughter of a child which is a first degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in state prison.[SUP][SIZE=2][3][/SIZE][/SUP] The penalty is the same if it is committed upon the elderly or disabled. Also, under the 10-20-Life system, [COLOR=#FF0000][B]if a firearm is used in any way[/B][/COLOR] then the penalty will be raised to the next degree.[SUP][SIZE=2][4][/SIZE] From : Manslaughter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [SIZE=4][B]Again, this is possible.
