And, also: not to defend the guilty person, but he was guilty of manslaughter.
Manslaughter is much, much different than MURDER, which is what a KILLER does. A manslaughter-er is not a killer IMO. Somewhat sensationalist title for the linked article.
edit: A manslaughter-er is not a killer IMO... I should say "A manslaughter-er is not neccessarily a killer IMO", because I guess it is possible, but I'd hate to paint every manslaughter-er with the killer brush. It could have been a terrible accident. |
Couldn't agree more with this. At any point, any of us could hit and kill someone with our car. Who knows how I would react. Running might be the only thing going through my mind too. It doesn't mean I'm necessarily a bad person.
