I seem to remember from Court TV that the maximum he could get is 15 years in prison.

I figure the minimum can't be higher than one year in jail, or the prosecutors wouldn't have offered him that one year in jail for the plea bargain. A plea bargain will stay within the statutory limits for the sentence set down for that type of crime. So we know the minimum is no higher than one year. I'm inclined to think, though, that there is no minimum amount of jail time required by the statute.

I'll look for the Florida criminal statutes and look up manslaughter.

Seems like quite a gamble to reject the plea.

Okay, I found out that manslaughter in Florida is called a "second degree" felony.

It says here that the range of sentence for a second degree felony is zero time in prison, to 15 years in prison.
