Are you that obtuse?if the law against murder is what makes it murder then why isnt manslaughter also murder since there are laws against it??
would it be because they defined different types of killings and made some illegal and others not??
When the concept of intent was introduced into our legal system we decided that the unlawful killing of a person that was done without intent or forethought was a lesser crime than murder and we call that crime manslaughter
You don't seem to realize that we can change laws and legal definitions any time we want to.
