FYI: that is why it is manslaughter and not homicide. No intent needed. A number of states to include LA have laws where if a person is killed during the commission of a crime a person can be charged with their death. However, it goes both ways in some cases. There have been cops charged with the higher crime of negligent homicide when people have been killed during pursuits.
