Should he be in jail longer? I believe so. Is it his fault our system is set up the way it is, so that he can be released after three years? Absolutely not.
Those of you who are wishing death to this guy are really the ones acting like monsters. I have no doubt in my mind this incident has haunted him every day, and will continue to for the rest of his life.

If he had displayed more remorse after it happened instead of trying to hide evidence like a coward and pleading not-guilty, I would find it a little more acceptable. He should have thrown himself to the mercy of the court and begged for forgiveness from the families, but instead he was indignant and claimed innocence the whole time. You're right that it's the system which is broken, but I still think this guy is a monster.
I work with construction companies all the time and they all are very safety orientated.
