    Not really sure what you're asking but jury can find someone not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter.

    Just because they've killed someone doesn't make it murder - for it to be murder there needs to be intent - if it was an accident, or if the can plead diminished responsibility or provocation the conviction can be reduced to manslaughter.
