 Lenient sentencing - legacylad
Anyone else read the tragic case in the news recently about the driver filming himself at speeds of up to 123mph before crashing, killing a young mother, her unborn child, leaving two other children in the broken down vehicle in a coma with an uncertain future ?

Previously driving without insurance in 2019 and only two months previous stopped by the police for racing.
Apparently the maximum sentence is now life imprisonment. He got 12 years. Will he serve the full term ?
The distress caused is simply too awful to imagine.

In my world he’s forfeited his right to breath and I cannot put in words what I’d like to do to him. Such a truly awful case.

The family’s solicitor described the sentence as ‘insulting’.
