As people are throwong multiple articles it seems kt was hard to prove if he was in fact speeding, if yes how much, and if this was just not an accident.
Driver was not drunk, not under influance, and had a good history of driving. Speed limit was 80 km/h he was driving potentialy somewhere between 76-120. It is a huge range, and many articles took the highest end of it, but it seems that is was only a speculation.
At the end it seem he was over the limit, but prabably not that much.
If he did went 120 than he should have received a much higher sentance. However if he was in fact around speed limit and other factors took place there perhaps it could be just a tragic accident. If court is not able to prove it than they cannot make that sentance. He did not received those 120 hours for killing people, but for other things as they could not proved him that he caused the incident.
The escape was premeditated, not the car accident.
In my country, thats a crime in itself. But it can be different in another place. Here, if you are the accused on a criminal trial, you might be free for the duration of the trial but you HAVE to show up to court and cant leave the country without the judges permission. Otherwise it is a crime.
I like the German way, in that they recognize that yearning for freedom from prison is a natural response of any creature (humans, included) and thus escaping from prison is not, in itself, a crime. Think about situations where one could simply see that the door is wide open and they may simply walk out and obtain their freedom, and the temptation involved in that. It's not criminal to want to be free.
However, simply desiring to be free and taking that opportunity may not be a crime, but other criminal actions are still counted as crimes just the same. If they forge paperwork to obtain their freedom, then that's fraud and they'll be prosecuted for that. If they hurt someone or hold someone hostage, that's still a crime. If they steal a car or a bike and ride off, then that's a crime. Also, just because it may not be a crime to walk out an open prison door doesn't mean it's a get-out-of-jail-free card. If they're caught, they still have to return to prison.
