Paul Cramm: If someone is convicted of misdemeanor vehicular homicide, thatâs a Class A misdemeanor in the state of Kansas. The maximum penalty for that Class A misdemeanor would be 12 months of custody and they would serve that custody in the county jail, in the jurisdiction where the accident occurred. If someone is convicted of the more serious involuntary manslaughter charge, thatâs a severity Level V felony offense. The sentencing range is anywhere from 31 months to 136 months in prison. We can think of that as two and half years to about 11 years in prison and that would depend on the personâs criminal history.
Manslaughter. Provocation does not reduce a homicide to manslaughter if it can be proven that the offender did not commit the act in the heat of the moment. Manslaughter is also homicide, without any intent to cause bodily harm or death. If you commit manslaughter and are convicted, you will face a maximum of 40 years in prison with hard labor. If the victim was under the age of 10, then you will not be allowed the benefit of a suspension of your sentence or of probation, and the sentence will be between 10 and 40 years in prison with hard labor.
