  1. This would count as vehicular manslaughter rather than vehicular homicide.
    If this person intentionally tried to run the victim over, that would change it to homicide.
    Regardless, this is terrible and has had a profound effect on the victims family.
    The term was too short but I’m not sure if it is possible to get a true life sentence for a manslaughter. (In the U.K., murder now can get a LIFE sentence, not just 12 years)

  2. If this was Viking society, his family would have to pay blood money to thr victim's family for the rest of their lives. Wish that kind of justice existed today.

  3. This is why I never pull over on the side of the Highway or Freeway if I can avoid it. I drove for miles with a flat tire twice to get off the road into a parking lot. I am terrified of this happening.

  5. Lunatic. Shame that this oxygen thief survived. Now the society will pay for the incarceration for 12 years. When he gets out, he will still be a burden on the society in other ways.
