Just because a country is one of the safest shouldn't be a reason to ignore things like this and let out people who commit real crimes that cause harm to others. 290 days for killing someone is a little more than a slap on the wrist for that crime. I've known people who spent more time in jail for attempted murder or possession of an illegal substance.
Cases like this are the exact reason why people will continue to drink and drive. There is very little risk for the worst possible outcome, which is sad and should be disturbing to all.
Especially with the way this guy has acted through the whole process should make it even more of a reason to make him an example.
