[QUOTE="Derpus, post: 952332, member: 76427"] The definition of manslaughter is killing with the intent to injure or otherwise without the necessary intent to kill. I agree that the tackle was illegal regardless and so the mitigating factor does not come into play. The point of the law is to protect heads. The more shoulders being thrown around, the more often one will accidentally end up hitting someone's head. I think mitigation should only come into play when the tackle would otherwise be legal but for the circumstance. [/QUOTE]
