Involuntary manslaughter occurs when an individual unintentionally causes the death of another person through reckless actions or through the performance of an act likely to cause death or great bodily harm. In other words, it's a death that happens as a result of negligence or recklessness, not premeditated intent.
According to Illinois law, involuntary manslaughter is a Class 2 felony. However, if the victim is a family member, or if the act was performed during a public nuisance, the crime can be upgraded to a Class 3 felony.
The sentencing for involuntary manslaughter in Illinois can be quite severe. For a Class 2 felony, the sentence can range from 3 to 7 years in prison. However, in cases of extended terms, the sentence can be from 7 to 14 years. In the case of a Class 3 felony, the sentence can range from 5 to 10 years in prison, with an extended term possibility of 10 to 20 years.
In addition to prison time, individuals convicted of involuntary manslaughter can face fines up to $25,000. They may also be ordered to pay restitution to the victim's family.
