Case Name: <\/strong>Jones v. United States
\nCitation: <\/strong>308 F.2d 307 (1962)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Facts: <\/strong>Jones was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for failing to provide for a 10 month old child of her friend.<\/p>\n

Defendant\u2019s argument: <\/strong>There must be a finding that the defendant had a legal duty (not just a moral one) in order to be charged with involuntary manslaughter.<\/p>\n

State\u2019s argument: <\/strong>Jones assumed a contractual duty to care for the baby or voluntarily assumed the care of another and secluded the baby to prevent others from rendering aid.<\/p>\n

Holding: <\/strong>Jones did not have a duty for the baby.<\/p>\n

Reasoning: <\/strong>There was conflicting evidence as to whether or not the defendant was paid which would have made a contractual duty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
