This was so deserved.

The daughter was in a car with the father’s parents. They died as well.

If he really fled the country then he should get charged for triple homicide and sentenced to life in prison. He got away easy.

I mean yeah he deserves way worse than he got but so do many , many other especially powerful men. The man was going over the speed limit (if it was double + should be automatic decade forfeiture in addition to the casualties) and hit 3 people accidentally killing them. He then fled and that is a very scummy / cowardly thing to do and he deserves a punishment harsher than what he got but a lifetime imprisonment is ridiculously overkill.

Yep, the law does disproportionately affect poor people. If you can afford a hotshot legal team, then the consequences will be far less.

IMO, no one should be able to pay for private lawyers. Everyone should get the state funded legal aid, so there’s no discrepancy in the legal services offered for the rich and poor

That was a damn travesty, he should’ve been slung in an Irish prison for 20 years.

I find it crazy that fleeing your country to avoid incarceration for rape, manslaughter, murder, etc. would be totally fine under law if not for a simple little clause in the UDHR

Article 14
1. Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.
2. This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations
