Definition of each for NH:
https://www.drivinglaws.org/resources/new-hampshire-negligent-vehicular-homicide-laws-and-penalties.htmlHe's currently charged with 7 counts of Negligent Homicide.
If he was DUI it's a Class A felony, conviction is up to 15 years in prison, up to $4k fine.
Not DUI, Class B felony, up to 7 years in prison, up to $4k fine.
Manslaughter is a higher level offense, up to 30 years in prison.
I've no idea how they figure sentencing on multiple convictions.
I suspect he will effectively serve a lifetime sentence.
Also, I wager that Westfield Transport will be burned to the ground, for all intents and purposes.
I doubt they had sufficient liability insurance to cover this, and I suspect that coverage is excluded for negligent acts.
They may well face criminal prosecution as well, in light of his prior DWI offenses.
Certainly they'll be buried by civil suits.
I'm puzzled by his release from the accident scene, that makes zero sense to me.
I suspect there will be several more circles of hell opening for all persons associated with him.
