Vehicular Manslaughter Penalties in Panama City
The sentence you could receive if convicted of vehicular manslaughter depends on whether or not you are accused of leaving the scene of the accident. If not, it is a second degree felony, punishable by a $10,000 fine and up to fifteen years in state prison, while if you are convicted of a DUI hit and run it is a felony of the first degree, with a maximum sentence of thirty years. Proving that you committed the more serious offense depends on establishing that you knew-or should have known-that you were involved in the accident.
Your attorney will examine the case for weaknesses, such as insufficient evidence that you caused the accident or that you were under the influence of alcohol, and will fight to protect your rights.
