To me, they are very similar cases. Both deserve a jail time. It sounds like one will get it, and the celebrity is allowed to continue playing hockey without missing a beat.
Even McTavish spent his year behind bars.

Instead of feeling sorry for these people, we should be looking to make the sentences for these crimes a lot stiffer. Clearly the message of don't drink and drive isn't hitting home.
The victims of those drivers don't get a second chance.
