� 18.2-36. How involuntary manslaughter punished.

Involuntary manslaughter is punishable as a Class 5 felony

(e) For Class 5 felonies, a term of imprisonment of not less than one year nor more than 10 years, or in the discretion of the jury or the court trying the case without a jury, confinement in jail for not more than 12 months and a fine of not more than $2,500, either or both.

Good luck
