About how many years can one get for man slaughter?

[Auntie Bush]

Just in case he's charged and convicted of this.

1. In Florida, mandatory minimum sentence is 9 1/4 years.

At the judge's discretion, it can be up to 15 years in prison, plus 15 years probation, plus $10,000 in fines, or any combination thereof.

3. If he is found guilty,

then there could be Federal Civil Rights charges too?

[TheWraith]

7. Possibly.

I'm not an expert, but federal law does allow for federal charges on denying people life "under color of law." Which was primarily an anti-lynching law, so it covers not just government employees but also others. As to how tightly that's defined, I really don't know. I do know though that that charge carries up to and including the death penalty.

4. Actually I wish it was more. He'd still be young, healthy, strong and ANGRY

when he got out. Beware...he'll be looking for revenge.

This guy not only ruined/ended Travon's life but he ruined his own for other reason than hate and paramania.

5. If he gets the maximum sentence for manslaughter, he'd be 41 when he gets out of prison.

And 56 when he got off of probation.

8. I doubt he will live long enough to serve his whole sentence

[Auntie Bush]

9. Yeah! There's a lot of black men in prison who will bewilling to make him suffer.

White men too!

2. Manslaughter in Florida

6. 15 years max, of which he would have to serve at least 85% of the sentence

since there is no parole in Florida.
