RCW 10.95.030. Sentences for aggravated first degree murder. (1) Except as provided in subsections (2) and (3) of this section, any person convicted of the crime of aggravated first degree murder shall be sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of release or parole.
Manslaughter is defined as homicide without the intent to kill. For this reason, it is less serious than a murder charge, which will always lead to jail time if a conviction is made. However, there are different degrees of manslaughter, and while some always lead to jail time, others have a chance to enable you to avoid jail time. As always, it depends on the circumstances. Generally speaking, most manslaughter cases lead to at least some jail time.
