Hello all, just wondering if anyone would be able to help me with what crime would you have to commit to be charged with voluntary manslaghter ? thankyou zarzee

[bednobs]

i don't think we have that in the uk

[Graham-W]

Voluntary manslaughter is the killing of a human being in which the offender had no prior intent to kill and acted during "the heat of passion", under circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to become emotionally or mentally disturbed.

[Graham-W]

Proof of provocation can also count to the temporary lack of mental control.
