Re: 1st degree involuntary manslaughter

You can look up Section 565.024 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri to see exactly how difficult it is to anwer your question without all of the facts. As you would see if you read the statute, this can be anywhere from a Class C Felony (One day to seven years and/or $1 to $5000) all the way up to a Class A Felony with a much more serious range of punishment. If this young man does not have an attorney, he needs the very best criminal defense lawyer he can get. Good luck.
