§ 125.20 Manslaughter in the first degree.
A person is guilty of manslaughter in the first degree when:
1. With intent to cause serious physical injury to another person, he
causes the death of such person or of a third person; or
2. With intent to cause the death of another person, he causes the death
of such person or of a third person under circumstances which do not
constitute murder because he acts under the influence of extreme emotional
disturbance, as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision one of section
125.25. The fact that homicide was committed under the influence of
extreme emotional disturbance constitutes a mitigating circumstance
reducing murder to manslaughter in the first degree and need not be proved
in any prosecution initiated under this subdivision; or
3. He commits upon a female pregnant for more than twenty-four weeks an
abortional act which causes her death, unless such abortional act is
justifiable pursuant to subdivision three of section 125.05; or
4. Being eighteen years old or more and with intent to cause physical
injury to a person less than eleven years old, the defendant recklessly
engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of serious physical injury to
such person and thereby causes the death of such person.
Manslaughter in the first degree is a class B felony.
