Calm down people.
This man isn't a monster. He's a stupid man, who made a very irresponsible, selfish and fatally dangerous bad decision. Anyone who has worked in the construction industry can name off half a dozen guys off the top of their heads who could have potentially been in the same situation (or are amazed they haven't yet). 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.

Agreed; there are way worse criminals that get out much much sooner than this guy is. Let them save the extra bunk so they can deny parole to one of those "worse" criminals.

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.

Canada is the place to be if you want to be a murdering drunk driving ahole. or rapist.

WHA?!?!? Of course it depends on where and what type of work is being done, and while the companies may say they care, but most don't put a high emphasis on safety. So much alcohol and drug abuse in construction too...

I have a lot of doubt that this scum has any kind of remorse. His actions certainly haven't lent to that.

When he appealed his sentence because he basically didn't find it fair he had to know even deep down it would hurt what was left of the family and friends of the victim.

His actions during and after the action where he decided to try to hide evidence instead of trying to help the family shows that this is not a good person at all.

The sentence was a joke and where they could have sent a strong message about drinking and driving the system failed, But that is the fault of the system.

I would hope that no one ever hires this scum and he suffers in the gutter.

But him being haunted by nightmares and an image of him crying all day in his cell don't strike as true for me.

He strikes me as very self centered.

[Coys1882]

I can't remember all the details but my wife's cousin is a prison guard where this guy was being held. Anyway - apparently this dude was going to appeal his sentence again at one point but some fellow convicts had a 'chat' with him and reminded him how easy he'd already gotten off sentence wise and that appealing it would be insulting to them. "Cool story bro" I know but there you have it.

Not trying to be funny, and I don't need help, thank you very much. Much people have been wishing him painful death, I just qualified the way he died. If you think you're holier than thou, than hat off to you.

If you're saying that some people in the construction industry drive fast and even drink alcohol, I'll buy it. But if you're telling me that it is normal that they drive so fast and crazy that people actually call 911 before the accident happens to report that an accident is likely going to happen soon and that it is normal for them to drive around with open bottles of vodka under the driver's seat, then I am not buying it.

That's an awesome story.

Our own inmates are better at handing out justice than our justice system!

Speaking from experience with having someone taken too early by a piece of scum like this guy, wishing death on the convicted person is a completely normal thing and none of us who wish this need help.

[Russic]

Much like Forever Flames, drunk driving played a far too prominent role in my family for me to ever look at something like this objectively. If he were killed somehow I would probably see it as a +1 for society. As somebody who's on the fence about the death penalty I see the obvious lapse in logic there, but yet there it is.

CP Jihad time!!

Petition for no early parole for Daniel Tschetter. I encourage all to sign that are outraged by this case and the verdict. Mr. Tschetter's lack of remorse is disgusting. Dispicable human being.

A lot of information in this thread if you're not familar with this case.

I don't know much about the legal system, but would a petition have any impact on a judges decision?

Also, shouldn't they go for a real petition, instead of an internet one, which are usualy not taken seriously?

I'd sure as hell hope not.

Alderman will accept them at City Hall from citizens.
In this case it appears to be a family member. I suspect it may form part of their victim statement. Yes, a real one might carry more weight, will be for the judge to deem if it carries merit.

[pepper24]

Yeah, probably won't carry much weight legally but a show of support for the victim's family is why I signed and thought I would forward along. For this reason, CPers need to sign!

Whenever I see this thread bumped, it makes me sick.

This POS should be locked under the f'ing prison and never see the light of day again.

Unfortunately not:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...er-parole.html

A Cochrane man who killed five people in a crash in Calgary in 2007 has applied for parole again.

Daniel Tschetter was driving a cement truck that ran into the back of a car carrying five family members — a couple and three children.

A year ago Tschetter was denied day parole, but was allowed temporary unescorted absences from Bowden Institution, a medium-security facility between the southern Alberta communities of Innisfail and Bowden.
