Murder vs Manslaughter in Australia: What Is the Legal Difference?
A death can result in a murder conviction, a manslaughter conviction, or no homicide conviction at all. The difference is not simply whether someone meant to kill. Across Australia, the law looks at the circumstances of the death, the accused person's state of mind or conduct, any applicable defence, and the particular law of the state or territory where the case is prosecuted.
