In a case like this, there are often "lesser included charges". Manslaughter is a lesser included charge to Murder 2. Murder 2 means you intentionally kill someone with malice, but not pre-meditated (That would be Murder 1.) Manslaughter means you killed someone without a legal justification, but not with malice. Involuntary manslaughter is when you accidentally kill someone.

SO, which one do you think they will try to go for? What is the sentence for that if convicted?

Well, they are TRYING for Murder 2. They jury will get the instruction from the judge that they can also consider manslaughter. Murder 2 is 20 years to life; manslaughter, about 5 years.
