Courts will be happy to make this case go away fast. Families wont get justice. No sentence could provide that to them. Pleading guilty is the only justice they will really ever get.

I didn’t want to write anything down about this either, but this is kind of how I feel as well. The driver isn’t a danger to public safety (never driving a truck again), and pleading guilty probably does help with some closure for a few. I’m assuming, if he’s like most people, the lesson has been learned and it’s never going away. Locking him up doesn’t really punish him any more than living with this will, but... you have to for some amount of time.
Just a terrible tragedy.
