The officer claims she didn’t realize a whole train was coming when she left a woman handcuffed in a parked police car.

How can you have “attempted” manslaughter? I thought one of the defining characteristics of manslaughter is that there isn’t a deliberate intent to kill.
It’s probably specific to the jurisdiction. For instance, some states consider assault and battery to be two different things, whereas other states call them assault and aggravated assault instead. So in those states you’d be charged with aggravated assault instead of being charged with battery. But they both mean the same thing in the end.
Specifically, in some states 3rd degree murder is manslaughter and vice versa.
A clumsy name for a law against almost killing someone by negligence.
