You would be charged with manslaughter because this person never displayed any type of threat. The severity of the punishment may be mitigated if you could prove that you got the phone call but you are still responsible for what you do, no matter what anyone tells you.
- heyyyouu 8y agoThat's not necessarily the case -- although it's one possibility. You could also be charged with involuntary manslaugher or nothing depending on state and local laws, what the prosecutor believes your state of mind is and, frankly, the whim of the prosecutor and the strength of your defense attorneys. Conversely, you could face a higher charge for exactly the same reasons. There's what should happen -- which will vary according to local law, at least in the US -- and then what will happen, which will vary significantly depending on the DA.
