say if you push somebody (in a playful and friendly way) and they fall over by accident onto a knife and bleed too death. you try and call an ambulance for help and try your best too stop the bleeding but they don't get there in time.


would u get serious jail time if the person died even if it was only by accident and unintentional? or would u be let free since it was accidental murder?

Yes. I wouldn't do that sort of thing, anyways.

Manslaughter. n 1: homicide without malice aforethought.
"Accidental murder", if you like.

One time I pushed my friend down a driveway. She skinned her knee pretty badly. And... No, I am not proud of that. I'm glad there were no knives for her to fall on. 8O
