homicide and be subject to the same penalties as shooting someone point blank without provocation. Obviously Kelly did nothing whatsoever to provoke being killed and Manuel did nothing to prevent using his car as a lethal weapon so how is what he did to her anything
different than 1st degree murder? Our laws need to change dramatically so we stop making excuses for drunk drivers who kill.
This is something that most people would agree with you.
It is a tragic that should be prevented by more severe consequences. In Canada for example you IMMEDIATELY lose your license once charged, it is a criminal record FELONY (if you try to travel to Canada from the US you will be denied entry because you are a felon) and the lifetime cost in Canada of a DUI is 50-60K. In America you just get a lawyer to beat the system if you have about 5-10K, you don't immediately lose your license and even if you are found guilty the cost is about 10-15K with no lifetime record.
This I believe is unfair because when you drive drunk you are not only playing with your own life you are putting other innocent people in danger.
My philosophy in life is as long as you are not posing any danger to society you should be allowed to do whatever you want as you already can in America. However the moment you are posing harm there should be more severe consequences.
