there are several issues facing the judge here in los angeles. the defense has filed a motion asking for the gun enhancement to be dropped. that does add more years to any sentence. once those issues are resolved then johannes will learn his fate. they say it's highly unlikely the judge will grant a new trial. analysts say it will move quickly to sentencing. johannes has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the killing of officer grant. that carries a sentence of 2-4 years. autobahn bus used in this crime. which means the judge could add three or four or ten more years to any sentence. the defense wants that gun enhancement. and because the defense thought

mehserle had his taser not his gun in his hand. legal analysts say the judge has a lot of discretion with this and mehserle could be look at anything from base to 14 year -- from probation to 14 years in jail. >> separately gun enhancement has 3-10 years. let's say he picks four years to each. he could say i want him to serve four years for manslaughter and four years for gun enhancement or say he wants them to run at the same time. start from day one. they both run for four years or less than that. >> reporter: mehserle will get the chance to speak to the judge. he will likely do that. the family of officer grant will -- the family of grant will also have the chance to speak to the judge. four members will be making the
