And if no children had died or were injured, should she still be jailed?
No, of course not. She has taken those childrens lives forever, and should
be punished accordingly for it.
Had she not, she should be punished, but to a far lesser extent.
Whether anyone was injured was just a matter of chance,
As is life. You take your chances, and pay if they go wrong!
So unless you want to turn sentencing and justice into a lottery I assume
you will want to jail her for exactly the same period of time.
Sorry, your assumption was wrong. Punishment should fit the crime. Simple
as that
If you believe it was due to the number of children in the car, do you
think she should have be jailed if she had been stopped the moment she
started the car engine?
I didn't say I believed it was due to the number of children in the car.
That's what the original report stated, however having attended many RTC's
there are always major factors in causing an accident, and I would tend to
agree with the report. However, she might have just been a crap driver.
