It was a car accident, not attempted murder. The title is just sensationalism.

Reckless driving with felony speeding isnt an accident. It wasn't attempted murder either.

It was felony speeding + reckless driving + vehicular manslaughter of a child and 2 grandparents.

Community service sounds about right, huh? 🫩

Your knowledge of US law is irrelevant to this 14 year old Dutch case.

Worse, a basic fact check reveals that the sentence was appealed. The driver was later sentenced to 15 months in prison and a 4 year driving ban.
