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.
I don’t think this would be considered involuntary.
