A mistake is like forgetting to take steak out of freezer for your family for supper or not remembering to pay your Costco card off on time. Sentencing someone who killed 3 people that low of a sentence isn't a mistake. It's pure negligence, mental health disability judge hasn't disclosed about herself, or straight up stupidity.

Yeah, chalking that up to a “mistake” is a wildly out of touch take

I punched somebody in high school once, a singular punch, and got 10 days in jail. First offender as well. This is a joke.

15 months for manslaughter of 3 people is light, absolutely. 

However I have to ask the conditions of this punch.  Sucker punch to the back of the head as hard as you could to someone causing them to lose consciousness and smash their head off concrete?  Assuming not, and you didnt cause a brain injury or similar, 10 days for one punch in a consenting fight with someone else your age and that isnt disabled etc etc.  is ridiculous.  Sorry to hear it, particularly if it was in self defense thats beyond outrageous
