RE: "Killing" implies intent

Posted by rivervalley817 on April 15, 2021 at 14:25:23:
no, killing just implies death

'There was none'

you don't know that ... it just happened

what if it turns out there was motive involved?

homicide / murder implies intent to kill ... they're legal terms

killing is the act, death can be a result, but not necessarily, it can be assumed

it's not necessary to have a corpse to convict for murder for instance

charged by law, manslaughter addresses death via negligence

there's also degrees of both manslaughter and murder

there can be willful negligence involved in manslaughter

is that a 'shortcoming' that you didn't know this?

probably not

killing is complicated ... and I'm not just parsing words either
