Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Involuntary manslaughter is the most applicable legal concept because the person did not intend to kill the victim, but their reckless behavior resulted in the victim's death. Neither first-degree murder nor second-degree murder is appropriate as there was no premeditation or malice aforethought. Voluntary manslaughter requires intent, but in this scenario, it was an accident, so it does not apply.
