Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a
human being including, but not limited to, a human embryo or fetus, without
malice. It is of three (3) kinds:
1. Voluntary -- upon a sudden quarrel or heat of passion.
2. Involuntary -- in the perpetration of or attempt to perpetrate any
unlawful act, other than arson, rape, robbery, kidnapping, burglary, or
mayhem; or in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death, in an
unlawful manner, or without due caution and circumspection; or in the
operation of any firearm or deadly weapon in a reckless, careless or negligent
manner which produces death.
3. Vehicular -- in which the operation of a motor vehicle is a
significant cause contributing to the death because of:
(a) the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony, with
gross negligence; or
(b) the commission of a violation of section 18-8004 or 18-8006, Idaho
Code; or
(c) the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony, without
gross negligence.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any evidence of conviction
under subsection 3.(b) shall be admissible in any civil action for damages
resulting from the occurrence. A conviction for the purposes of subsection
3.(b) means that the person has pled guilty or has been found guilty,
notwithstanding the form of the judgment(s) or withheld judgment(s).
