manslaughter is usually not premeditated and if it is there has to be a reason to bring it down to this less serious offence. As far as I know if it was premeditated they should have grounds for diminished responsibilty, such as a parent killing a child who is terminaly ill and in pain or they have to be provoked i think. Pretty sure thats how it works in the UK atleast, someone else probably knows/ can explain it better
