Seems like killing someone with a car (even if drunk) gets a way lighter sentence than killing someone by any other means.
He also was able to fines out the ass that me and you cannot pay. So you pay it off with prison time.

There is a lot that geaux into sentencing besides the crime...fines being paid...being a first timer and repeat offender etc. 3 to 10 plus the time incarcerated was also weighed as well.

What yall should be pissed about is they keep mentioning a damn animal....the loss of human life was enough...in the grand scheme of things fukk that animal.

Sadly that's the case, pedestrians get zero protections.

2013 Bay Area
Of these 434 pedestrian fatalities, 1/3 were in crosswalks when they were killed. That’s nearly 144 people killed while crossing in a safe zone, nearly three times the national average.

Adding insult to injury (or death), 60% of the 238 motorists found to be at fault or suspected of a crime in the death of a pedestrian faced no criminal charges. When drivers did face criminal charges, punishment was often light. Even more confounding, licenses were rarely suspended.

Of those few people who were charged with a crime, less than 60% had their driving privileges suspended or revoked for even one day. 40% of those convicted faced no more than a day in jail. “If there isn’t a penalty, the message is that it’s all right to run people over and kill them,” said Elizabeth Stampe, executive director and the sole paid employee of nonprofit advocacy group Walk San Francisco on whose Board of Directors Shaana Rahman sits. “There’s a joke from New York that maybe isn’t very funny: If you want to kill someone and get away with it, use a car – and that’s true here as well.”

2015 NYC
About 95% of traffic fatalities in New York City do not lead to arrests, according to Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan), who spoke at the rally.

RIP to the Lady that lost her life. Some GM will give him a chance when he does come out. Hopefully he learned his lesson and becomes a better person.

His earliest possible parole date is August 5th, 2026. He'll be 27 years old. He'll still have time to come out and make some millions in the league, but he'll never get a $100 million contract
