An argument that becomes a violent physical altercation or the discovery of an extramarital affair can have deadly results. Negligent and reckless waving of a firearm while drunk could lead to a fatal shooting. According to Penal Code 192(a) PC, voluntary manslaughter is charged when another person is killed during a sudden quarrel or in the heat of passion. In addition, gross negligence that results in a fatality can be a factor in a criminal charge.
While similar to murder charges, the difference is that no malice existed, as the killing took place under spontaneous circumstances. However, the consequences are severe. A conviction of voluntary manslaughter could result in anywhere from three to 11 years in a California state prison.
