There does not appear to be a statute for "reckless homicide" in Florida. In such cases, cases of homicide would be treated as some degree of just that, homicide.

There are two statutes for vehicular and vessel homicide. These are listed below:

782.071 Vehicular homicide.--"Vehicular homicide" is the killing of a human being, or the killing of a viable fetus by any injury to the mother, caused by the operation of a motor vehicle by another in a reckless manner likely to cause the death of, or great bodily harm to, another.

(1) Vehicular homicide is:

(a) A felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

(b) A felony of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084, if:

1. At the time of the accident, the person knew, or should have known, that the accident occurred; and

2. The person failed to give information and render aid as required by s. 316.062.

This paragraph does not require that the person knew that the accident resulted in injury or death.

(2) For purposes of this section, a fetus is viable when it becomes capable of meaningful life outside the womb through standard medical measures.

(3) A right of action for civil damages shall exist under s. 768.19, under all circumstances, for all deaths described in this section.

(4) In addition to any other punishment, the court may order the person to serve 120 community service hours in a trauma center or hospital that regularly receives victims of vehicle accidents, under the supervision of a registered nurse, an emergency room physician, or an emergency medical technician pursuant to a voluntary community service program operated by the trauma center or hospital.

History.--s. 16, ch. 74-383; s. 6, ch. 75-298; s. 12, ch. 86-296; s. 14, ch. 96-330; s. 9, ch. 98-417; s. 1, ch. 99-153; s. 2, ch. 2001-147.

782.072 Vessel homicide.--"Vessel homicide" is the killing of a human being by the operation of a vessel as defined in s. 327.02 by another in a reckless manner likely to cause the death of, or great bodily harm to, another. Vessel homicide is:

(1) A felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

(2) A felony of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084, if:

(a) At the time of the accident, the person knew, or should have known, that the accident occurred; and

(b) The person failed to give information and render aid as required by s. 327.30(1).

This subsection does not require that the person knew that the accident resulted in injury or death.

It depends on the degree and nature of the incident and if the person pleads guilty, as there usually is a plea bargain where they will receive a lighter sentence. It also depends which state and country you are in. Usually, it is maximum of 20 to 25 years. If it's an accident like a car accident and the person involved does everything to cooperate with the police then they will usually receive a lighter sentence. If it's a hit and run situation, then the sentence will usually be longer.

Anywhere from probation to Life. Was it Voluntary?

Also Great Bodily Injury (GBI) and Gang Enhancements (state) or Racketeering-Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO-federal) statures can increase a manslaughter sentence dramatically.
