Everyone always argues that penalties need to be stricter and punishments more harsh....but in reality harsher punishments/sentences do not have any sort of deterrent factor and actually increase the chances of re-offending.

Impared judgement is not an excuse, period, he made the decision to drink and drive, with all of the public service messages etc there's no excuse.
He made a selfish me only decision, and it was a decision that he made.
He killed 4 people, Daniel Tschetter wiped out a family, they made a concious decision to put themselves above public safety, and someone else paid the price.
This to me isn't man slaughter, or a horrible accident,he did something that probably more then 3/4 or the population knows is dangerous and stupid.
And if your using the excuse that punishment will only make him re-offend more, then maybe he shouldn't be getting out of jail for a good long time.
F%%K him.
