The Consequences Of A Prison Sentence May Follow You For Life
Involuntary manslaughter is a Class 5 felony in Virginia. If convicted, you may be subject to incarceration from one to 10 years and a fine up to $2,500. Prison time may be increased to 20 years if you showed a “gross, wanton and reckless disregard” for human life. This is often the case when the driver had a blood alcohol content that was very high.
Having a felony conviction on your record will change your life, even after you complete your jail or prison sentence. You may lose the ability to vote. You will lose the right to possess firearms. Additionally, you may have trouble getting certain jobs and finding housing. If you are in a custody battle, your co-parent may try to use your felon status to keep you away from your children.
