I doubt the DA would have been able to convict you on more than involuntary manslaughter.

Considering "he" didn't die, and it wasn't an intentional act, the most that would be applipicable to the situation is Criminal Negligence in the First Degree. Even if "he" had died, it would be Manslaughter in the Second Degree.
