The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division led the investigation into the incident. If convicted of involuntary manslaughter, Stark could face a maximum sentence of eight years imprisonment. The sentencing would also include a period of supervised release following any prison term, as well as the possibility of a fine. The final sentence will be determined by a judge, who will consider federal sentencing statutes and guidelines. It is important to note that criminal informations are accusations, and individuals charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
