Manslaughter & Murder: Understanding Your Charge

Manslaughter and murder are amongst the most serious criminal offences under Australian law. Both charges involve the act of unlawfully causing the death of another person, but they are distinguished primarily by the defendant’s state of mind at the time of the alleged offence.
