Homicide is the killing of another person, it can be justibiable (as in self-defense) or as you ask Negligent - A negligent homicide would be accidentally killing someone but the accident is your fault. Think of a person speeding to work. They are violating the traffic laws willingly. There car goes through an intersection and kills another person. They cold be charged with Negligent homicde. The suspects actions, although not necessarily criminal, were so inherently dangerous that their negligence caused a death.
Aggravated assault, some times called "assault with a deadly weapon (ADW) or Assauslt with GBI (great bodily injury) involves attacking someone with a weapon that is likley to cause "great bodily injury." GBI can be a stick, a knife, a gun, or even your hands and feet. As an example, if a professional boxer punch (or tried to hit) you this could be GBI. Now, assault means attempting or completing. So, if I shoot at you and miss, well its still an ADW, or Aggravated assault."
Counterfeiting and forgery are broad terms that encompass many crimes. Counterfeiting means make a "fake" duplicate of somthing. It could be money, or a painting, or even name brand jeans. You make something and pass it off as an original. Generally speaking, forgery means to falsely adapt an original document. As an example, if I wrote you a check for ten dollars and you added a zero to the number and cashed the check for $100, you would have "forged" the check (this is also called "raising" On the other hand, if you took your laser printer and made checks with my banking information, you would be counterfieting.

Would involuntary manslaughter be the same as the homicide definition you put above? Or is it a California thing. Most fatal vehicle vs ped t/c's meet your criteria and are often filed as misdemeanor manslaughter cases.
