Really? How long would you have given this guy had it been your son, father or brother that had been murdered? Weather a gun, a car, a knife, a ballbat or your bare hands - murder is murder - under the influence or not. I think 20 years is getting off easy for God says that a murderer shall be put to death...atleast this guy will be able to live for the next 20 years - even if it is in a prison...
Num.35
[16] And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
[17] And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
[18] Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
[21] Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
[30] Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
[31] Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.

20 years is about right. But he should have been whacked with a five year sentence ten years earlier. Then, perhaps, his latest victim would still be alive.

Any verses that deal with unintended killings?
