Can MOM tell the jury what the sentencing guidelines are for each charge?

Someone said he was prohibited from doing so.

What is the penalty for him just stating the info to the jury?

He can’t do that but I’m sure tomorrow he will dispel with the culpable negligence part of the manslaughter charge in his closing remarks.

The attorney gets jailed for contempt of court, and the judge gets to declare a mistrial which--because it was caused by the defense attorney's actions--would give the state a chance to put the defendant through another trial.
