Most likely you would be tried as an adult, because it's so close to 18 and the severity of the crime. Up to 15 years in prison for vehicular homicide.

What sentence would a 7 year old receive if charged with a DWI and vehicular homicide in the state of Ohio?

In most jurisdictions, a seven year old may not be charged at all (no charge, no sentence). However, the parents or responsible caregiver may be charged with a crime. A seven year old is considered too young to be left unattended and therefor should not have an opportunity to become intoxicated or to drive a car.


What sentence would a 17 year old receive if charged with a DWI and vehicular homicide?

It depends on the state and county you live in. Homicide is a state crime, so it varies.Since he/she is 17, he may be charged as an adult. Even if charged as a child, they may be in jail for about 1 year for DWI and about 5 years for the homicide. Once again, it depends on your state.The juvenile could be tried and sentenced in juvenile or Family Court, or can be transferred to adult court where he could receive time in prison.

Can you be charged with murder and vehicular homicide in the state of Ohio?

A person can only be charged with one type of homicide for each person who was killed. If a pregnant woman was killed and the fetus was at least half term, then there are two homicides with which a person can be charged. Vehicular homicide is typically a less serious offense than murder. If evidence exists that the driver purposely ran over an individual with the intent to kill him, and did kill him, the driver can be charged with murder.

What's the max jail time for vehicular homicide?

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.
