It entirely depends upon the nature of the case, and varies according to each individual trial- there is no statutory length for a manslaughter conviction in the UK. Sentence length depends entirely upon any mitigating circumstances there may be, i.e. if the killer was acting in self-defence but did not mean to go so far as to actually KILL the victim, if the defendant is not of entirely sound mind, and so on.
If the killing was accidental and the defendant shows remorse for his or her actions, they MAY escape a prison sentence altogether- in such cases, it depends upon the nature of the presiding judge.
