[edit] Merge
This page is basically composed of exerpts of a book I've never heard of. This is a common part of the traditional homicide progression and can be sourced with original sources no problem. Still I support the merge.

- I wholeheartedly support the merge; I think you could delete almost all of the article and still have enough information to understand the concept. Miss Dark 18:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect
Shouldn't this page be redirected to Manslaughter? JasonCNJ 02:07, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- What happened to this? Or what happened to the merge? In the history it says "removing merge tags, no consensus" at some point. Where's the log of the discussion? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scraimer (talk • contribs) 02:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Fixed Plagarism Issues and Corrected some Errors
I have edited the page extensively to broaden the definition to include the two most common definitions of voluntary manslaughter. I corrected the misconception that the killing has to be intentional. I removed the repeated quotation that bordered on a copyright issue. Source is California Penal Code Annotated Sec. 187 et Seq.

[edit] Jurisdiction
This article seems to me to reflect U.S. law. I think that the solution is:
- Move this to Voluntary manslaughter (U.S.);
- Rewrite this article to identify:
- General issues;
- Which jurisdictions have the concept;
- Link to jurisdiction-specific articles (e.g. Voluntary manslaughter (England and Wales) which I will have a go at)
