If he gets charged with four counts of OWI Causing Serious Injury, a 5-year felony, that's 20 years:
Michigan OWI Causing Serious Injury: In Michigan, you can be charged with drunk driving causing a serious impairment or body function. This is a five year felony with a fine ranging from $1000-$5000, vehicle forfeiture and mandatory vehicle immobilization
Plus five counts of OWI Causing Death, a 15-year, felony, for an additional 75 years:
Michigan OWI Causing Death: Michigan OWI Causing Death is an elevated and more serious offense for drunk driving in Michigan. The penalty for this offense is a maximum of 15 years in jail, a fine between $2,500 and $10,000, vehicle forfeiture, mandatory vehicle immobilization and possible restitution.
(link to the law at legislature.mi.gov)
If he has a prior conviction, those five counts become 20-year felonies and the four counts become 10-year felonies.
In theory, he could be locked away for the rest of his life. If he was drunk, I hope he is.
