What Is Voluntary Manslaughter in Missouri?

Under Missouri law, voluntary manslaughter occurs when someone causes the death of another person under the influence of “sudden passion” from adequate cause. While less serious than murder, it still carries lengthy prison time and life-changing consequences.

• Voluntary manslaughter is a Class B felony under RSMo § 565.023
• Acts are often spontaneous, with no premeditation
