The language my top comment used was "homocide" and "negligent homocide" while the responder changed it to "murder". The point is that in the view of the justice system, sometimes it doesn't matter if you meant to kill someone or not--you still killed someone.

It does matter. The charges are different, the sentencing is different.
Yes, only one of your three examples was correct.

Homicide is so broad it's meaningless.
