True. That’s why we have “wise” judges such as this one to make “just decisions.”

There is an old saying in the legal profession, of which I am a member, that "hard cases make bad law." One sees a terrible case like this where a beautiful family is decimated and the knee jerk reaction from many is to throw the guy in jail regardless of his level of culpability. Any one of us is capable at any time of making a simple driving mistake which has terrible consequences. What if this driver had instead been a mother who took a quick glance at her baby in the back seat to see why it was crying and in doing so crossed the center line. Do you think she should be jailed?
