Dangerous Operation Causing Death is worthy of deportation, if he's not a citizen.

What is a reasonable scenario?

How many years before trial and hopefully conviction?

Factors

1) The perp wants to defer jail as long as possible so his lawyers stall. It also lets public anger subside or shift to another punk.

2) The police want enough time to get all the evidence so won't rush things.

Trial in a couple of years. Sentencing months later. The minimum sentence is $1000 plus a few months in jail. The max is life.

I'm guessing five to ten years and out on parole well before his 25th birthday.

After causing a death? Not a citizen = likely a flight risk. Jailed until trial. We've had people in similar situations flee the country, before they could be made to pay for their crimes.

Him permanently leaving the country is orders of magnitude better than a trial, slap on the wist and do it again that I expect if he stays.

Credit for time served. I don't know if that's good or bad. If I was guilty of something I'd like to think pleading guilty ASAP and getting on with the jail time would have the reformed me getting back to a free life sooner.

The flip side is that jail in Canada is probably better than free in a third world country.
