15. A good lawyer would probably be able to get that down to involuntary manslaughter.

He says he had no intention to kill the guy, the guy was not a target of his ire. If this turns out to be true, he'll probably walk with probation or a very light slap on the wrist. He wasn't looking where he was going, that's for sure. The "fleeing the scene" is a problem, but if the lawyer can play the "He was in fear for his life" card, that may be a factor in mitigation.

If the family of the deceased can be bought off, this could be resolved very quickly.

The rich are different. If the same thing happened, and Mr. Knight wasn't a famous rich guy, but instead a poor minimum wage worker, he'd be going up the river.
