I'm with Rafterman on this, I don't see him getting anything more than 3 or 4 years. Not with his money, the connections, no way.
Rockslinger, could you tell us, tell everyone who has ever wondered, why do you interrupt threads with off - tangent posts? Do you do it on purpose? Do you do it for the attention? Or are you just so socially inept that you cannot see that you are irritating people over and over by inserting your crap where it does not belong?
That's 1,800 to 2,200 deaths a year. To the people and families affected, they are all tragic. Of course, even more tragic when young children are involved like this one and the later one on Friday near Ajack.
People of his ilk generally don't. He grew up privileged, entitled, had to work for little and has likely been surrounded by enablers his whole life - given what he wanted and whenever expected. You don't suddenly learn a sense of responsibility overnight. His record of traffic and public intoxication offenses speak to as much.
Not likely. I hope I am wrong.
Agreed, as above. Regardless what he may feel, his every utterance and action from this point forward is going to be at the direction of his lawyer/family; I sincerely doubt they would permit him to plead 'guilty' even if he so chose. As others have alluded, a family like this is going to stick together no matter what, and do whatever needed to 'win'. They come before everything and everyone else.
And that's only the number of deaths. Think of how many are injured. Driving is inherently dangerous.
Caruso isn't comparable, he beat the guy severely and then deliberately ran him over and drove off
Sentence for Prosa today - Prosa - five years in wrong-way crash that killed father, daughter
"In his ruling, Judge Glenn Hainey said the results of Prosa’s behaviour were “catastrophic,” however he said he did not feel the eight-year sentence being sought by the Crown was appropriate."
He only killed a man and his daughter, after all.
Writer (despite the paper) hits the nail on the head here; I'm sure we'll see the parallel with Muzzo's trial.
Someone characterized him as down-to-earth.
Agree not comparable on all 4's but I didn't want to start a new thread so I added Curuso and that taxi driver who killed the skateboarder to this thread. So, it appears the penalty for killing people with your vehicle is less severe if you are drunk (also if you are an elderly driver).
Stupid behavior, but there was no intent to kill anyone. Five years seems about right considering people with intent to injure or kill get about the same or a bit more time.
