Habita executives attended Otake’s wake, where they delivered a document summarising the sequence of events to Otake’s family.
They also bowed in apology.
NOPE. Lock them up. The fuck you mean “they also bowed in apology”? They commited involuntary manslaughter for fucks sake, it wasn’t an accident that she went in to put money in the safe.
IANAL but involuntary manslaughter definitely covers things where people were knowingly negligent and it causes someone to die. The extent of that negligence is where we go from manslaughter to a murder charge. Also this is in Japan, so none of what I think may apply at all!
No, going from manslaughter to murderer requires intent.
If someone starts a bar fight and lands a hook in the right spot that kills someone, that’s manslaughter unless the prosecution thinks they can convince a jury that the goal was to kill someone.
I contend that any business that has an employee death that was due to the prioritization of profit over safety is an intentional action and the manslaughter is voluntary.
Again, IANAL, but this doesn’t seem correct. Someone can be charged with murder even without intent to kill. Heck, just googling ‘murder’ gives you this : The killing of another person without justification or excuse, especially the crime of killing a person with malice aforethought or with recklessness manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life. (Emphasis mine)
The extent of the negligence can be determined so severe that the prosecution may seek murder charges, even if there’s no intent to kill.
And the difference between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter really comes down to how the death occurred. Involuntary manslaughter is ‘I was negligent and left a baby near a pool and it drowned’ vs voluntary being ‘I was so angry that I punched my SO to death but I didn’t want to kill them’. In both cases you didn’t want the other party to die, but in one case you physically caused the death.

I don’t think this would be considered involuntary.
