The sentence depends on the state, the circumstances, any priors, the D.A., the defense attorney (and the job that both he and the D.A. do, and any plea bargains) and the Court, as well as a jury, if that applies. There are quite a few variables. A few months to a few years is about all one can guess with the information provided.
My friend received 4 years in Florida. It could of been as much as 40 years. His parents had a lot of money and were able to hire a good lawyer.
When it comes to vehicular manslaughter it depends on the judge and where in the world you live. You can serve anywhere from 6 years to life in prison.
There are some limits, but not many in Florida. Life or capital crimes have no limit. Others are limited to 3 years.
i was just released about a yr ago and ran across guys that got anywhere from 12 to 20 yrs
None. Assuming that you are asking about a person that has been charged, has gone to court for trial, and has been found guilty of aggravated vehicular homicide, then the jury will, sometimes, recommend a sentence. If the judge allows. Many factors come into play when this court happens. But the literal answer to your question is no jail time. He or she is sentenced to PRISON, which is totally different from a jail. Go to a law library and do some research into some cases and find information, called discoveries, and you will see that it's not a one-size-fits-all answer. Also, be aware that homicide is different from vehicular homicide; aggravated vehicular homicde is, again, different. Each charge carries different plays in court.
If found guilty the judge will make that determination, which will be based on many factors, when you are sentenced.
