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.
Involuntary Manslaughter. The act of unlawfully killing another human being unintentionally. Most unintentional killings are not murder but involuntary manslaughter. The absence of the element of intent is the key distinguishing factor between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter.In most states involuntary manslaughter results from an improper use of reasonable care or skill while performing a legal act, or while committing an act that is unlawful but not felonious.n other states this distinction is not made. If death results from an unlawful act, the person who committed the act may be prosecuted for involuntary manslaughter even if the act was malum prohibitum. Courts will uphold unlawful act manslaughter where the statute was intended to prevent injury to another person.
