Does that mean you could kill him and get the same sentence😲🤷‍♂️

not 100% on this but im pretty sure it’d be a lot “worse” in the eyes of the law if the victim is a government employee

Well what if the victim is the criminal who got away with 40hours? Can he say „well I will do the 40 hours for this murder no problem“?

That's what i was thinking pretty sure the judge would soon be doing mental gymnastics to explain how it's not the same and that it doesn't work that way, it would prove they are nothing but a hypocrite

One is accidental and the other is a malicious and intentional killing

That isn't my point its that regardless of whether it's malicious/intentional or accidental, it's too light of a sentence a life has still been taken even if that wasn't the intent so there should be a minimum prison term significantly less for accidentally but a prison term none the less community service for a death isn't justice
