[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 668369, member: 60724"] Bill V, Now you introduce the term homicide. Homicide is a general term for killing (see the wiki). Homicide covers both murder in its various degrees, and manslaughter (both voluntary and involuntary). So, yes, a prank that results in a death might very well merit an involuntary manslaughter charge, but it should never result in a murder charge. Of course either charges deals with a homicide. Put another way: all crimes that result in a death are homicides. Not all crimes that result in deaths are murders. So, to review, a prank that ends in an accidental death = "involuntary manslaughter", NOT "attempted murder". Murder and manslaughter are both homicides. Are we good? TJR [/QUOTE]
