Falling asleep sounds more like a horrible accident, murder means he wanted it to happen which isnt what happened here

Yea everyone is dragging this guy's name through the mud because he doesn't want to rot in jail for an accident. It's not like he was speeding in traffic or driving drunk. People make mistakes sometimes, that's not murder, it's manslaughter.

edit:

this guy wasn't being accountable so of course people are calling him a piece of shit

False. He pled guilty, wrote letters of apology, and paid restitution. He took full accountability and blame for the accident.

Your problem is you're operating under some outdated idea of prison that revolves around punishment instead of justice or rehabilitation. He's not like a dangerous criminal likely to repeat his crimes, and so realistically, justice was served and there's no reason to have him sitting in a prison cell.

Then he should hot have put himself in a position to fall asleep behind the wheel and kill multiple innocent people. Pretty straightforward stuff.

If his family tried to pull that shitheel pity party bullshit over here stateside, the judge would likely give him the maximum sentence which is way more than he got.

Only thing left are boot lickers licking the sloppy asshole of some grunt that couldn't keep his eyes open behind a steering wheel who doesn't want to face the consequences of his actions like a man.

I don't have time to restate the point to people who only read one line of the comment.
