If you have been arrested for DUI Manslaughter in Brevard County – Florida, the Melbourne criminal lawyers at The Canina Law Firm are here to vigorously defend you through every single stage of the case.
Under §316.193 of the Florida Statutes, a person is guilty of DUI manslaughter if it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that another person or unborn child was killed through that person’s operation of a vehicle under the influence of either alcohol or controlled substances. In Brevard County, a DUI Manslaughter charge is extremely serious and should not be taken lightly. The penalties for a conviction are severe and the long-term consequences can be costly. DUI Manslaughter is a second degree felony punishable by up to 15 years state prison. In addition, the State of Florida provides for enhanced penalties if the driver flees from the scene of the crash. There is a 4-year mandatory minimum prison sentence upon a conviction for DUI Manslaughter. Additional years may be imposed under Florida’s uniform system of sentencing known as the “Criminal Punishment Code”.
