Its really interesting the crown went after manslaughter instead of impaired causing death...I'm 99% positive the minimum punishment for impaired causing is longer than manslaughter.
Secondly, there was no "refusal to submit a breath sample causing death" charge when this occured. It has since changed but it seemed like the crown was between a rock a hard place here...legally and morally.
I'd still love to hear why they only went after manslaughter though....
