Sentencing people to life in prison wont bring the dead back alive. He clearly didn’t intend to kill anyone and intentions matter. I don’t get the blood thirst here.
Why should people be held responsible for killing other people!? You have a responsibility when you drive. To not kill people. It really shouldn’t be difficult.
In addition to the pending prison sentence, he must pay $2,500, complete 60 hours of community service and submit to quarterly drug testing as part of the plea deal. His driver’s license will also be suspended for nearly six months.
I’d say killing a person because you were drunk driving is worse offence than killing someone because you fell a sleep but neither of them are intentional. If he did this because he hates cyclists it would be a whole another story.
But why is it a worse offense? In both cases you have plenty of notice that you’re driving impaired. One could argue it’s worse for tired drivers because their judgement isn’t clouded by an intoxicating substance that impairs judgement.

I’m not asking for blood, just his license. He’s demonstrated he is not capable of safe operation.
He killed 2 and injured 11
The very fact that you’re having to ask why people want a bigger punishment for that says it all

a whole 6 months!
Would you say the same thing if he were drunk? Why or why not?

even an accident this big deserves more unless it was outside his control
if nothing else that license should be suspended way longer
