The event and the loss of life can have a major impact on the family and friends of the victim(s) in such a way that it begs sorrow from the criminal justice system, jurors, and humanity as a whole.
Due to the public outcry and the tragic nature of the case, defendants adjudged as guilty have been subjected to harsh sentences leading up to life in prison for some habitual offenders.
However, we can and we have successfully defended people charged with Intoxication Manslaughter.
If you or a loved one were charged with intoxication manslaughter, it should not, in any way, imply guilt. It only means that you were arrested and accused.
