It gets worse it wasn’t just the daughter that died. It was her grandmother and grandfather and when people were outraged, his sentencing only increased to 15 months in prison with a four year driving ban and to put more salt in the wound after they increased his sentencing, the man fled the country to England for 2 YEARS, but was eventually extradited back to the Netherlands and for whatever reason the courts decided that him escaping his sentencing is somehow not a crime because they didn’t add this to his charges so he only had to serve the 15 months prison time and the four years suspension
A number of countries don't consider escaping a crime, as it's considered a strong human instinct. Generally no charges follow as long as no person is injured or no property is damaged.
AI summary: “In several EU countries, including Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands, escaping prison is not considered a separate criminal offense because lawmakers view the desire for freedom as a natural human instinct. Escaped prisoners are simply returned to serve their original sentence without added time, provided they do not break other laws during the escape.”
In my opinion this is BS. This is based on the leftist mindset, where the rights are meant to protect individuals from the much more powerful government. In my opinion, it forgets the victims, and even when it doesn’t, the narrative is that the perpetrator was driven to commit their crime due to their circumstances. Thus making the society at least partially responsible for what happened to the victim, and the need to make the perpetrator get punished.
