3 people dead/ 2injured/ 15 yr sentence? FAIR?

Question

does this sound fair? ethical? a man drives under the influce of meth amphetamines causes an accident, killing 3 people, severely injuring 2, bonds out, 2 days later, arrested for driving under the influence of meth amphetamines, possession and paraphernalia, gets 15 total for all charges. for the same if driving under the influence of alcohol would have carried a steeper sentence, does this makes any sense? i know i am close to the case, so i may be being close-minded.

deckape: it is common knowledge, though we were unable to prove it, that his brother, who took the stand today and talked about what a good boy this guy was, got his drugs for him!!! and the officer involved in both arrests, was there today, you could see hurt in his eyes, but none in the family of the man who killed these people

Answer 1

It may not be fair, but it is consistent with other sentences for similar crimes. I can name several other cases where someone drove drunk and killed someone and got probation.

Answer 2

In some way it is, this person was an addict the drug pushers in jail should also be convicted and then hanged because they are in this type of business. Also law enforcers because its obvious they were not doing there job by enforcing the law.

My brother was 14 years old and killed by a drunk driver and never spent a night in jail for it, when I got older I had a long talk with the guy and I still hate that nothing was ever done nothing. But none of it will ever bring my brother back, so

Answer 3

IMO, impaired driving while under the influence of any intoxicating substance should be dealt with more severely, and if a death or serious injury occurs, the person should receive life without the possibility of parole.

Answer 4

This is unbelievable to say the least. of course this person should have been charged with a stiffer sentence. People LOST their lives!!!
