Wow... I never knew that... Was Dany Heatley ever charged or convicted of a similar thing?

Heatley was convicted of manslaughter, but did not serve jail time. He received 3 years probation.

I think the big difference is that Heatley was not impaired. He and Snyder were racing around in his Ferrari. Whether Snyder was willingly going along with it or not, who knows. The other aspect is that Snyder's family was quite forgiving of Heatley and were not seeking a bigger punishment. If they had, it likely would have affected sentencing.
