Without knowing what state you are in and how the statute reads it is difficult to predict. That said, if your son was simply driving over the speed limit (say 12or less) the appropriate charge would be Careless (not reckless) resulting in death. That said, if there are enhancers such as alchohol or drugs than certainly another charge may be appropriate. Here CarelessDriving resulting in Death would not warrant a jail and or prison sentence. (Of our serge persons previous driving history is a factor)
Sorry you are going through this.

I am so sorry for your family. I have tried to to teach my kids that just one bad choice/decision can lead to a lifetime of trauma, guilt or regret. I'm sad that your son has to live with this.
Cindy.

I am sorry for your family and your dil's family. I can't even imagine.
I wouldn't dwell on the "what ifs" right now, but just concentrate on your son and supporting him in any way he needs. If the worst happens and charges are brought or the police bring him in for questioning make sure he has an attorney.

what a terribly sad situation. your poor son... what a burden to bear. my dear friend's mom was in the car and her father was driving when he went over the line and hit another car a couple of years ago. the elderly man in the other car was killed, as was my friend's mom. the man that died had no children and had never married but had two sisters. they pressed the police to charge my friend's dad with something... as they wanted to pursue legal action for the death of their brother and i gather needed him to be "at fault". legal action continues. i guess i am mentioning it to say, no matter how guilt-stricken he is, to be careful when talking to others outside of his trusted family members about it. i am so sorry this is happened to both yours and your DILs family.

That is a terrible thing for him to live with. I feel we are not getting all the details though. Just speeding, would not justify a vehicular manslaughter charge. How did the accident happen? Was he drinking? did he act reckless/careless? were they both in the car? had been fighting? etc? Seems like there are some details missing to justify such a charge. Have the police threatened this?

Charges haven't been brought yet. A grief stricken mother is worried. Let her be.

I am so sorry for your loss. How awful for your son and your family.
Criminal law varies from state to state and "real" criminal law (what prosecutors actually charge and do) varies even more. If he has a lawyer, you have done what, as a practical matter, is best to do; he should listen to the lawyer. The only NOT LEGAL ADVICE I will offer is that he shouldn't talk to anyone about what happened other than his lawyer, including you. Every person he talks to becomes a witness unless he has a relationship with them that permits confidentiality. A lawyer has that; a therapist almost certainly does, but he should check with his lawyer.

Charges haven't been brought yet. A grief stricken mother is worried. Let her be. ah, she asked for advice, or if anyone knew anything about it. it's hard to give advice unless we have details. Yes, it's a very very hard time. But if he already has a lawyer, there's most likely the probability that something more is going on, and he may have some charges brought. It's really hard to say.
