The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. Whether someone is charged with manslaughter is a matter for the police and the Crown Prosecution Service, which are independent of both the Government and Parliament.
You could start a new petition calling for an action which is the responsibility of the Government or Parliament, for example for a change to the law in relation to manslaughter or for tougher sentences for drug offences, if those are things you want to happen.
