As well as both of them should have to do community service when they get out as well as having to take a tour of the morgue and trauma centers.
The bad part is that he
was driving on a suspended license from a previous DUI. The motorist was charged with 4 counts of second degree murder, with both sides eventually agreeing upon a 10 year plea bargain, but the plea bargain was thrown out by the presiding judge as to lenient. The jury didn't agree, as he was acquitted of all murder charges, and was found guilty of four counts of vehicular manslaughter
without gross negligence.(4 years for the first victim, 8 months each for the other 3)
This type of local justice is why I take extreme care when riding my bike, since it sends a signal to some motorists that one can drive as irresponsibly as they like, and literally get away with murder.
