Kat said, in part:

No "involuntary attempted manslaughter" which it could well have been

I never heard of such a charge, and I've spent the last 46 years working in contact with the criminal justice system in the US. Makes no sense. If it's "attempted", it's got to be voluntary. Yes, there can be involuntary manslaughter, or attempted manslaughter, you've got to choose between "involuntary" and "attempted". Or, of course, just straight manslaughter and murder.
