I'm going to amend the OP:Your friend comitted a crime of passion. Got into a fight, ended up killing the other dude.
In that case, I would council him to call the police, and report the events, and plead guilty to manslaughter.
Since he's my best friend, I would visit him frequently in his 2-7 year prison term.

Do you not know much about this law stuff? If you do, don't read the rest of my post, as it will waste your time. If you don't, read my below explanation and it should make sense:
Here's an example:
You and I get int oa fender bender. We get out of our car, you start accusing me of causing the wreck and we both know it's your fault. I start arguing back. It leads to some shoving, and then swings occur. You punch me and I fall down just right onto something that kills me.
That's manslaughter: second degree murder. You did NOT intend to kill me, had no intentions of doing it, but you did end up killing me. That's a form of murder, defined by law. The above situation can be considered a crime of passion, as well as second degree murder, depending on how the case is presented.

BTW, just like you to be such a klutz that you fall down and kill yourself on a nickel.

Still makes it a form of murder in the second degree, though.
