Implications of murder and manslaughter

Here in the UK if a person is found guilty of murder then the court must issue them with a life sentence. With manslaughter there is no mandatory sentence although a judge can impose a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, however the average prison sentence typically ranges from 2 to 10 years. You cannot deal with this alone.
