      He pled guilty, accepted his judgment without argument, and has shown genuine remorse. Is this not the kind of person we want more of here? Yes, he did a horrible thing, but the situation was a result of forces much larger than this one man.

        Side note, I think the punishment for vehicular crimes tends to be abysmally light. So much so that what people are afraid of is their insurance going up.

          The best way to intentionally kill and maybe get away with no jail time, or at least not a lot of jail time is in a car.

          No needing to worry about hiding a body, or forensic evidence linking you to the crime. You just gotta be convincing enough it wasnt with intent, and not be on drugs.
