Questions: You lose your temper after class and after a few drinks at TG's bar; you pull out your 9 mm to scare someone who is giving you a bad time. The gun goes off and you wake up in jail. The person you shot died of his wounds. What are you going to be charged with? Voluntary manslaughter Misdemeanor manslaughter First degree murder Involuntary manslaughter

The answer is voluntary manslaughter.

Voluntary manslaughter typically involves a killing that occurs in the "heat of passion" as a result of provocation. In this scenario, you lost your temper and acted impulsively after being provoked by someone giving you a hard time. The fact that you were under the influence of alcohol and acted out of anger fits the criteria for voluntary manslaughter.

Misdemeanor manslaughter involves a death that occurs during the commission of a misdemeanor. In this case, the act of pulling out a gun and shooting someone is far more serious than a misdemeanor, so this option is not applicable.

First degree murder involves premeditation and intent to kill. Since the scenario describes an impulsive act rather than a premeditated one, first degree murder is not the appropriate charge.

Involuntary manslaughter involves unintentional killing resulting from recklessness or criminal negligence. While the act of pulling out a gun and shooting could be seen as reckless, the scenario suggests that the act was driven by anger and provocation, making voluntary manslaughter a more fitting charge.
