"A familial resemblance? :-)"

I was certainly expecting some wit to take the opportunity! Not bad!

"manslaughter, which is the unlawful killing of a person without malice aforethought."

Someone may correct me, but I also believe it is further qualified as being unintentional--regardless of emotional dislike. This is offered as a point of interest rather than a point of dispute. Some lawyer here will set us right. I think you can have plenty of malice yet still be innocent of manslaughter. But the "aforethought" is a squirmy word, isn't it?

But malice aforethought does not equate (in my mind) with intention aforethought. At least, I that that is accurate as an afterthought, if not later. ;-)
