You have to dig the motive out -- anyone can lie and claim manslaughter when it was murder, so you need to know all the details.
But if someone didn't mean to commit murder, it's a different deal to punishing someone who purposely went out with the intent to kill. Someone who knew what they were doing and did it anyway.
[ ... ] Shoving someone, and they hit their head and break their neck? That's still something you need pass judgement for, but do you see how there's a difference between someone doing that and someone going into someone's house with a knife and a plan to leave with blood on their hands?
There's a nuance to it, but I'm not a lawyer so it's not my jusridiction to know how they get there! [ girl ]
It's just important. There's a big difference between someone who goes out with a knife with the intent to kill, and someone who, say, kills someone while trying to defend themselves. You see?

It’s not normal for someone to just try and stab someone out of nowhere. At least, it’s not in most places. [ … ] Not that that’s stopped people from trying.

Someone still died, unintentionally or not. You can’t just let that go. [ unless you’re boss with falco, i guess. ]

Stabbing someone isn’t enough to kill them?
