well, manslaughter is murder:
here's the difference: You plan on killing someone (let's say you're OJ)---you get the mask and the gloves and sneak over an kill: premeditated = muder one
You're a bank robber, you have a gun. You don't want to kill anyone but you do. Death during the comission of a crime = categorized differently, but you'll still get the penalty (-death) of murder one.
You get in a bar fight. (not self defense scenario) the guy hits his head or something and dies---manslaughter. Unintentional death due to negligence or other tort (crime involving injury)
