It depends. Vehicular manslaughter would be the most possible charge. If the 17 yr. old had a record of DUI's, then he could be charged with murder. The possibilities are anywhere from home on probation to prison for juveniles. A longer sentence is more likely, however more facts would have to given for me to be more particular. If you desire a phone consult, call me at 661-2671313. Best wishes....Daveid Wallin

Potentially prison on charges ranging from murder to involuntary manslaughter. Get an attorney. If this is in SoCal, feel free to contact me if serious about doing so. If this is in Utah, why are you asking a CA attorney?
