Reporter Shawn Setaro gives us an understanding of second-degree murder vs. manslaughter. Here is what he shared,
Basically the difference is: for murder, the intent needed to be to cause death. For manslaughter, the intent needed to be to cause serious physical injury.

In addition, Setaro provided a list of innocent bystanders injured in the altercation. Therefore, the New York Supreme Court condemned Taxstone’s actions.
At this point, I think Taxstone is doomed. I would be surprised if Taxstone is not handed down a life sentence.
Especially since we know he was responsible for injuring innocent bystanders.
As a matter of fact, Taxstone’s conviction includes manslaughter in the first degree and two counts of assault in the first degree.
Furthermore, he was given charges of one count of assault in the second degree and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.
Keep in mind, Troy was also injured during the incident. To say nothing of, Troy’s compelling testimony.
