Write mini-examples of each type of subcategories of murder and manslaughter

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Answers will vary, but examples should include justifiable homicide, first-degree, second-degree, voluntary manslaughter, and involuntary manslaughter. Students could present their mini-examples to the class and have the remaining students determine which type of homicide the example was depicting. This can be used as a means of review and a means to check the student understanding of the concepts.
