Involuntary manslaughter is usually charged when someone accidentally kills someone, but was behaving recklessly when they did so, and so the law feels it necessary to hold them accountable.

There are many situations which could lead to an involuntary manslaughter charge. But one example is a doctor who is administering anesthesia as a sleeping aid, and not properly monitoring the patient, who dies because of the drugs. This happened in the death of Michael Jackson, and the doctor, Conrad Murray, was charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Involuntary manslaughter, under Penal Code 192b PC, is a felony, and can lead to up to 4 years in prison, if convicted.

However there are many situations when an innocent person may have been charged with Penal Code 192b. Perhaps the accused did accidentally kill someone, however they were not acting recklessly as the law defines it. Or maybe someone else was acting recklessly, and they were the one who caused someone to die, but the wrong person got blamed for it. An experienced criminal defense attorney can fight charges of involuntary manslaughter, and can often negotiate lesser charges, or even a complete dismissal.
