Should someone who accidentally causes a death receive the same punishment as someone who planned it?
Sep 18, 2026No, they should not receive the same punishment, because criminal liability depends not only on the result (death), but also on the degree and form of guilt.
Sep 18, 2026Whats the degree ? How they killed ?
Sep 18, 2026I think manslaughter and first degree murder are sentenced differently
Sep 18, 2026They already receive a different punishment depending on whether the death was premeditated or not
Sep 18, 2026As you said it is accidentally not intentionally ,so intention matters here ,this implies that the person will not recieve same punishment .motive ,intention ,preparation are major ingredients to decide.
