Three of the 4 who died were burned to a crisp. I'd say the driver got off easy.

Should have locked him up and thrown the key away.

He'll probably be out in less than 10 years. At least they didn't let him walk with a slap on the wrist.

May be some 1%ers in jail will introduce him to a new way of life.

One would hope so.

Reading transcripts of the judge's remarks at the sentencing, the judge believed that this was just a horrible accident. Apparently the meth found in the driver's system and the driver's own admission that he was looking down, reading paperwork as he approached the intersection didn't imply negligence?
