What is Involuntary Manslaughter Under 720 ILCS 5/9-3?

Involuntary manslaughter means unintentional killing through reckless conduct or during commission of unlawful acts. This involves deaths caused by reckless behavior without intent to kill.

Unlike intentional murder cases, manslaughter cases involve complex evidence including accident reconstruction, recklessness determinations, and causation analysis. However, these procedures may contain technical flaws and constitutional violations that experienced defense attorneys can challenge to win cases.

The key to defending involuntary manslaughter charges lies in attacking the reliability of recklessness evidence and constitutional violations during investigation.
