Each drunk driving case is unique with many factors that are considered before a verdict is reached. However, it is very possible to be charged with voluntary manslaughter after a DUI accident. If you were operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, and a person was killed as a result, you can certainly be charged with vehicular voluntary manslaughter. Depending on the degree of severity, you could be facing a prison sentence of anywhere between 7-21 years, unless you have a reputable defense lawyer on your side providing guidance and expertise.
