I thought the whole purpose of manslaughter was that it does <i>not</i> require the intent to commit harm? Apparently, it&#x27;s actually based on <i>culpability</i>. <i>Involantary</i> manslaughter matches my original ideal of there being no intent. But there&#x27;s also <i>voluntary</i> manslaughter in which case intention is present but there&#x27;s some other mitigating factor that reduces culpability.
