Jail Sentence For Hitandrun Driver Who Left Boy To Die (from Daily Echo)
20 months for RECKLESS driving, perverting the course of justice, leaving the scene of an accident, driving uninsured and without tax and driving dangerously as he left the scene.
While you make some valid points, this is just one of a HUGE number of cases where monetary crimes were far more punishable and recieve higher sentences than serious physical harm (death, disablement etc).
I have talked to many friends about this and they agree that it does seem to be more henious if you defraud money than kill. As for the class divide statement- I stand by what I say and they are what I have deduced from this. It is not the state across the board but I firmly believe that this is the case.
If I am proved wrong-fantastic. I can put my suspicious mind at ease. This is for debate not for finality.
