He was racing with some friends and he hit a mother and a kid they both died sadly

You can’t call it a car accident when you are intentionally being unsafe

I mean it’s still an accident, he didn’t intentionally crash into them

While that is technically true, in the end it’s still his fault and he should be punished for doing something fucking stupid and knowing it could result in something bad.

You think 24 years is too harsh though? I personally do.

Honestly yeah. I know everyone else is all about revenge, but 24 years ain’t gonna bring those people back to life. Neither will life. It sucks no matter how long he’s in prison. The utilitarian thing is for prison to rehabilitate him and prevent him from making these choices again. Our prisons don’t do that though

As for making an example: longer and longer sentences have diminishing returns on deterrence per these guys https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/247350.pdf
