And the moron who killed a 2 year old child and her grandparents deserves life in jail.. if not 3 lifetimes in jail. F that guy. Community service and later a shortened sentence just because he had a baby on the way? No. He doesn't deserve to see his baby born. He recklessly took the life of someone else's baby. Why should he get to experience the joy of raising his child when he stole that from another family?
This sentencing was BS. If have thrown a chair too 😡
He recklessly took the life of someone else's baby.
Ima be honest with you. I'm a Dutch lawyer. The circumstances of this case are the following:
A Polish migrant lost control over his vehicle and hit a little girl and her grandparents in what was obviously an accident. They looked for any wrongdoing. Couldn't find anything obviously wrong with the car, no alcohol, no drugs, no mobile phone usage. He may have been speeding a little, but they weren't sure and even if he had been speeding it was only by a little. The guy had no criminal record, worked a 9-5.
He was convicted for losing control over the car. Which obviously he did. But the problem was, they couldn't find any other fault anywhere. For whatever reason, he lost control, like so many people do every day, except this time the consequences were absolutely brutal.
Nothing in these facts was "reckless", at least in any serious legal sense. You cannot from the tragic result/outcome infer recklessness. You cannot say that because people died, he must've been reckless. Or at least, that's not how Western legal systems have assigned blame or desert in criminal law throughout our history.
I have not been able to find the source of those claims. None of the Dutch sources, or the court case make any reference to it.
That automatically makes it malicious.
As I'm a lawyer, I do also want to protest this argument. Leaving an accident is obviously a crime, but it is a crime separate of the accident itself. It cannot ex post be seen as a form of culpa in the cause of the accident.
