In terms of invulontary manslaughter, I can see it if you shoot someone by mistake, or stab someone in the heat of passion, once.

But strangulation to me is a whole different beast because it takes time, for someone to be able to watch their victim die and change their mind.

Once this woman got the scarf around her daughters neck she had to keep up the pressure until her daughter stopped breathing, there was lots of time to realize what your doing and stop. Chances are her daughter stopped struggling minutes in and the mother kept the pressure on.

I think the judge was fed a bill of goods here, I'm hoping that the crown appeals the sentence because I don't think that this was right.

The mother basically subdued her daughter and then decided to keep up the pressure.

Yah, you actually have to continue tp strangle a person after they've passed out in order to kill them. Your body's natural defense mechanism actually knocks you out first hoping whatever's strangling you will loosen their grip once there is no struggling.
