I found this site listing all of the named crimes in NY State:

http://www.new-york-arraignments.com/allnumeric.htm

There are two degrees of manslaughter listed plus two degrees of vehicular
manslaughter.

Interestingly, second degree manslaughter is classified as a non-violent
felony. From another web site:

Second-degree manslaughter is defined by statute in New York as recklessly
causing the death of another. "Reckless" in this context means a conscious
disregard of a substantial and unjustifiable risk.

Are there any attorney's on this list who could answer a question for me?
I
notice below that Leland Kent was convicted of manslaughter in the first
degree...I've never heard of degrees of manslaughter. Does such a verdict
still
exist? Or is it just manslaughter now?

Leland Dorr KENT was sentenced by County Judge SUTHERLAND yesterday to
twenty years imprisonment at hard labor in Auburn State Prison, the maximum


penalty for a conviction of manslaughter, first degree. Notice of
application for a
certificate of reasonable doubt, under which the defendant's bail bond may

be renewed, was immediately served upon District-Attorney WARREN, and
argument
will be heard by Justice DAVY in chambers at Penn Yan at 8 o'clock
to-morrow

night. Mr. RAINES served notice of appeal to the Appellate Division from
the

sentence and conviction at the same time.



Thank you for your help and input,
