Lindsay Lohan gets 90 days in jail for missing rehab, this guy’s gonna get 730 days for killing a man. I could care less if he meant to or not. Dead is dead.

Dead is dead, but intent matters, and rightly so.

I nominate this as the dumbest comment I have read on FR in the past year.

In law, intent is pretty much everything.

Fall asleep at the wheel, plow into people, get away scott-free.

Drink, fall asleep at the wheel, plow in to people, do hard time.

You’re driving down the road, minding the speed limit and all other laws, and a pedestrian jumps out in front of your truck. He dies. Should you be charged with capital murder? After all, intent doesn’t matter, and you killed someone.

Dead is dead. True. And murder is murder and this ain’t it.
