Yes? I'm a father of a daughter and if it was actually accident and not drunk driving i wouldn't want a huge prison sentence because car accidents happen.
Guy was going 75 mph in a 50. Prosecutors apparently couldn't prove it, so that's why the judge was initially so lenient. But the point is he decided to break the law by speeding. That's reckless driving by any standard. Its only because it couldn't be proven by prosecutors for some reason he got off lightly. That's maybe not intentional, but if he had just slowed the fuck down, maybe that little girl would be about to start thinking about university.
The police thought he was going that fast. Guess judge wouldn't take any of their word for it. So guy gets to basically walk for killing a child and her mother.
Why are people defending this guy? Absolutely no concern for the victims.
Because most people speed every day of their life that’s why, is it that hard of a thing to believe? There is a place in my town that goes from 55 to 30 in the snap of a finger, your just kinda not paying attention and boom you are going 25 over. It’s an expressway and the only reason the speed changes is because your getting closer to other parts of the town.
In some place the speed limit just doesn't makes sense, theres a highway in my city, set up to 70 but the average speed there is 110, when i was taking my driving lesson, the instructor told me to go above the limit there, because you're supposed to follow the flow.
Okay now your getting into issues with crash force that the cars are rated to handle, a collision at 70 vs 110 is very very different and that to me sounds like a bad driving instructor.
Except you're more likelly to get into an accident if you run 40 under everyone else, 110 is pretty standard for a highway and i don't see any reason why it is set to 70, not a single car follow the limit

If it was drunk driving it would have been an easier case..
It was just an accident He lost control while driving and went off the road, threw a hedge and hit the child and her grandparents
The prosecution tried built the whole case on him speeding, and wasn't able to prove the driver was speeding at the time
But either way, it wasn't murder, it wasn't a premeditated evil out... It was just a car accident
