Manslaughter Attorney In Middlebury, Connecticut
What Is Manslaughter?
Under Connecticut law, manslaughter refers to the unlawful killing of another person without lawful justification — such as self-defense — and without premeditated intent. It’s one of the most serious criminal charges a person can face and can carry decades in prison if convicted.
There are two primary types of manslaughter:
- Voluntary manslaughter, which typically occurs in the heat of passion following a confrontation or emotional provocation.
- Involuntary manslaughter, which involves a death caused by reckless or negligent actions — often during another unlawful act or while engaging in behavior that creates an extreme risk to others.
These cases are complex and require a careful, fact-driven defense.

What Penalties Might I Face?
In Connecticut, manslaughter is a felony offense with severe penalties. A conviction can result in years — and in some cases, decades — of imprisonment, along with substantial fines and a permanent criminal record. While probation may be possible in certain cases, the courts and juries often impose prison sentences due to the tragic nature of a loss of life.
Because the stakes are so high, it’s critical to have an experienced and dedicated defense team on your side.
