Ninth Circuit Finds that California Conviction for Involuntary Manslaughter is not a Crime of Violence


August 2, 2016
by Sabrina Damast

The Ninth Circuit has determined that a California conviction for involuntary manslaughter does not qualify as a crime of violence because it includes reckless conduct.  A crime of violence, as defined in 18 USC 16, requires intentional conduct.
