What are the minimum and maximum penalties for vehicular manslaughter in California?
117614
According to reference #1, depending upon the\ncircumstances, "vehicular manslaughter" can be a \n"misdemeanor (minor crime with a maximum punishment\nof a year in county jail or only a fine) or a felony\npunishable by a term in state prison ...".\n\nFor example, if the cause is DUI, then code 191.5 applies\n(see reference #2), which says:\n\n "gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated \n  is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison \n  for 4, 6, or 10 years"\n\n "Any person convicted of violating this section who has one\n or more prior convictions of this section ... [or other\n sections] ..., shall be punished by imprisonment in the\n state prison for a term of 15 years to life."\n\nSo, the minimum could be a fine and the maximum could\nbe life.  Obviously, the circumstances make all the\ndifference.

Each state has its own set of sentencing guidelines.\n\nAs to the other apart of your statement, the charge would stick, as long as the person lives...additional charges would be filed if should they die as a result of the action. And NO, the judge isn't going to lenient because you're a lousy shot!

Depending on your driving record:  Maximum 4 Points and a fine.\nGo to court, dress conservatively, be polite and respectful, plead no contest and apologize, then accept the consequences - chances are that the penalties will be mitigated.

5 dollars per mile per hour.\n\nThere does not seem to be any above the speed limit miles per hour in California that determines reckless driving.

ZERO!! In CA, if you are parolee and are caught with a gun, you will face 10 years in prison.

Theft II is a class C Felony. The MAXIMUM penalty for a class C Felony in Washington State is five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. Depending on a persons criminal record, they may only get a fine and some time doing house arrest or work release.

If this does happen you will be charged with vehicular homicide and spend time in jail. The time in jail is between 10 to 20 years.

I'm certain it's the same as California's - 3 felony convictions and you get the mandatory life sentence(usually 20 years) you're considered a "career criminal" with little chance for rehabilitation. - Try Cal. State Law - and see if there's mention of Ariz.

Manslaughter is defined as "unlawful killing of another person without premeditation or so-called "malice aforethought" (an evil intent prior to the killing)" (see my sources). Note that any evidence of premeditation (such as bringing a gun to the crime scene prior to the killing) would probably prompt the DA to charge murder instead of manslaughter. The killer must not have had prior intentions to cause death; that is the key. Furthermore, voluntary manslaughter is only manslaughter and not murder if the victim provoked the defendant.\nIn voluntary manslaughter, the killing was either committed along with a felony or in the heat of passion (a passion crime). In involuntary manslaughter, the killing was not committed along with a felony (running over someone, termed "vehicular manslaughter", is an example of this).\n\nInvoluntary manslaughter has a maximum sentence of two years. Voluntary manslaughter can lead to a life sentence. If a firearm was used in voluntary manslaughter, the minimum sentence is four years. As you can see, there are sharp differences.

Actually, we usually take enforcement action against anyone careless enough to be breaking the law in front of us...speeders, murderers, and even people wearing headphones.\n\nYou didn't say what county you're in, and that would matter. \n\nIn Siskiyou, RIverside and Kern, it's 96.00.  In Santa Clara, it looks like it might only be 35.00.  \n\nThe Court will mail you a notice eventually, and if you just can't wait until then, call the court where you're supposed to appear and ask them how much the total bail will be.  They'll be happy to help.

I would guess since their existence hasn't been proven, there are no laws from baggin one year round. Then again, if you bag one and it's cnsidered a humanoid, you may be charged with manslaughter...

Vehicular manslaughter is a statutory crime for which the elements and the possible penalties vary from state to state.  \n\nSomebody has your state's vehicle and penal codes on-line, a simple search will get you the answer.  If your friend tells you the Code and Code Section he's charged with, you can zero right in on the answer.  \n\nSome states even set out the minimum and maximum penalty in the criminal complaint.\n\nHe has only two options:  One, if he is eligible have the public defender represent him.  Two, hire a private attorney.  \n\nRepresenting himself is slow suicide.  Pleading guilty at arraignment without counsel advising him is equally stupid.

Yes, this will vary considerably by state.\n\nIn California, the situation you're describing here is probably already past the criminal stage.  You said the victim is showing an effort to pay back the damages, but I'm guessing you meant the suspect.  If the victim and suspect have entered into ANY kind of arrangement for restitution, that would normally shoot down any kind of criminal prosecution and the parties would be referred to small claims court if things go sideways later.\n\nAgain, in California, if the vandalism is only a misdemeanor, the time limit would be one year.  You're going to have to tell people what state you're in to get a better answer.

yes they will and you would go to jail so dont do it its just like the california highway patrol that was chaseing the van full of illegals a few years back.  well the van flipped over and killed some of the people in the back.  the family sued the california highway patrol for wrongful death and won like 6 million dollars.  yes the family was illigal too.   Its great how the law works huh?

I am assuming it's California and it's over 65 mph.  The answer is it depends on the county.  Here is the basis for fines set forth by Judges in CA\nAmount ($ Range): 1st offense-Not more than $100 2nd offense (within 1 year)-Not more than $200 3rd or subsequent offense (within 1 year)-Not more than $250 Veh. Code §42001(a)(1), (2) & (3)

There are too many unknown variables here to give you a really accurate answer.  However, the citizenship of a person who commits a crime in California is not an issue unless diplomatic immunity is involved.  It does not matter that someone who is committing a crime is not a citizen of this country or state; they are here, and they are subject to the laws of the state they are in while they are here.\n\nSo what you really want to know is "what happens to someone in California who makes death threats to someone else in California?"\n\nAnd the answer to that one is easy:\n\nNothing, all the way up to prison for several years.\n\nWithout having the facts of the incident, it's just not possible to know what the probable outcome of the case would be.  Also, people tend to overreact when it comes to "death threats" and what they really are.  I've had people tell me that, "I'll be looking for you at the bar tonight," is a death threat.  In California, it just ain't so.  If you're interested, you can review Penal Code section 422 at the link below.  It will define what a death threat is in this state.\n\nHope this helps...but forget about the citizenship issue; it's not an issue.

Prosecution for a misdemeanor (note spelling) must begin within one year of the offense.  There might be a couple of exceptions here and there, but if there are I would imagine they would be rare and most likely not involve a misdemeanor traffic violation.\n\nGood of you to explain that it is a Los Angeles cop you're asking about, but it's the same rules throughout the state, so all you need to talk about is California law, not what an LA cop has to do.
