My boyfriend is currently in prison in Arizona and has a vehicular manslaughter charge here in california PC192 (C) . How much time can he get for that?
Answer
Thank you for clarifying the specific charge as set forth in the Penal Code.
Penal Code section 192, subdivision (c) vehicular manslaughter is a "wobbler." A wobbler means the District Attorney can charge this crime as either a felony or a misdemeanor.
If convicted of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter, he faces up to one year in a county jail. If he is convicted of felony vehicular manslaughter, he faces anywhere from two to ten years in the state prison.
