When it comes to the umbrella term "Homicide", the (American) Law system makes the distinction between Murder and Manslaughter as that of Intent, even though they are also used as points of plea bargaining and sentence outcomes. One of the terms used is "Justifiable/Justified" with either Homicide or Manslaughter, but never in connection with "Murder".
