MODERATORS
My ex's mom never stopped driving when she developed a medical condition that has her randomly passing out multiple times a day. She never stopped, the doctor never took it, and the inevitable happened.
She passed out, killed a pedestrian. Did like 2.5 years and ~6 Mo of that was time served IIRC.
Motorists aren't REALLY punished for crimes, and pedestrian murder is just victim blaming advertising for car ownership "if they hadn't been on their bike they would have survived" "that's what you get for walking on the side of the road"
Sounds like she was punished to me.
You lose a loved one then come tell me if you think two years is fair for murder.
Or does your defense of driving at all costs mean more to you than your family?
The justice system isn't about revenge.
