74. Looks like 3rd degree at the most, from a Georgia lawyer definition

Chances are you’ve watched a movie or the news and have seen a clip of a person in court and have heard a jury read the words “we the jury find the defendant guilty of first-degree murder.” But what is first-degree murder? This is considered the most severe type of murder because it is planned and was done on purpose. For example, a husband plans for months to kill his wife by burning down their house one night while she is asleep.

Second-degree murder often results in less serious penalties because the person acted unusually and beyond their normal self control due to an intense situation. This may occur after a man finds his wife having an affair with their marriage therapist and is so enraged that he kills his therapist right then and there. This would also be called voluntary manslaughter.

The last type of murder is in the third-degree and is involuntary manslaughter. Many times, drunk drivers who have killed another driver or person on a highway are charged with involuntary manslaughter. While the person was negligent by driving drunk, this person did not intend to kill another human being.

This is negligent but with no intent at all.
