is it self defense or man slaughter ?

this is involuntary manslaughter...
it's involuntary..because the person who hit the sober man didn't mean to kill him....and manslaughter because you kill him by him hitting his head. very different with murder.

so would someone get any time for involuntary manslaughter ?
