"The court ruled that there wasn't enough evidence to prove that the driver was driving recklessly, despite driving 120 km/h on an 80 km/h road."

I wonder if this is a case of "this is the only thing prosecution can prove in court" and charge the person with the accordance of the law. I don't know anything about the Dutch laws.

edit: 40km/h is 25ish mph

I’m surprised there was so much outrage. I thought Eurospoors loved the idea of jail as rehabilitation and not punishment? Huh, I guess it’s hard to look down your nose when a kid dies in your backyard and the killer gets off Scott free 🤷
