Reckless Involuntary Manslaughter – Criminal Law Outline

Criminal Law

Reckless Involuntary Manslaughter


If one is aware of a substantial and unjustifiable risk to human life and disregards it anyway (recklessness), but his act does not exhibit extreme indifference to human life, he is guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

This is also manslaughter under the Model Penal Code.
