Sue the drivers forgetin ass. He should be sentenced for at least 6 years.
So the driver should go to jail for
six years (mind you, that's more than half of how long you've been alive) because of some poor footwork and then human nature kicking in against his better judgement? I'm glad it's not people like you who populate legislature, it's absurd that someone should lose
six loving years of their life because of a mistake and poor judgement after the fact when every bit of their instincts said RUN AND HIDE.
Even if he had
killed the kid, vehicular manslaughter charges are no where near that intense. In California and Georgia, it's a maximum of 1 year as long as you weren't intoxicated and didn't intend on killing them. I don't know about other states, but I'm too lazy to look 'em up and that seems to be the norm. In CA, a hit in run is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail. So, if this crime happened in CA, it'd be a maximum of 1.5 years in prison. Not loving
six.
(I picked CA because it's the most populous state, with an 11% chance that OP lives there)
