That’s it? Kill someone drunk driving and get nothing. Have a joint on you and go to jail for life. 

 

Makes sense.

10-16 years is what I’d expect to be honest, but he’ll probably only serve 4 or 5, which makes it a total joke.

He actually killed two people, Jackson and the Uber/Lyft driver.  A sentence of 10-16 doesn't seem like much considering the other factors involved.

I have known many people who have been busted for a joint and even as much as a quarter pound and got no jail time.  I think you are exaggerating a lot with that comment. The people who spend time in jail for weed are the dealers and those who have multiple offenses.

Not really. I’ve read and seen plenty of articles about life sentences for a little bit of marijuana.

Try reading things that are not over 25 years old or are from this country.

I don’t smoke weed bc I don’t want a life sentence or to eat all the kids snacks.

I remember as a teenager, my family members telling me if you smoke weed you will end up fat and in jail. So yeah makes sense. It worked I never touched the stuff

Weed will be legal countrywide before 2022. Book it.

 

It's not my thing btw, I don't smoke it... but the evidence that it is overall safer, easier to police and an extremely lucrative economic injection for the state is just too much to ignore.

 

Alcohol is responsible for so many more deaths and no one bats an eyelid....

Justice system is a joke. Come here "illegally" and get rewarded with benefits.....

Big pharma are the ones throwing the biggest fit. I'm not for the weed but the medicinal sources cannot be ignored. The stuff is amazing. Without the thc

My general view is that you shouldn't be able to buy alcohol if you've been convicted of a DUI or other alcohol related felony within the past 5 or 10 years.

Yup California the 3rd strike rule!

[chad72]

I guess we should implement Sharia law then if you don't like our current justice system. If convicted, chop the hand(s) off or put him in a cell the size of a 6 ft by 6 ft box for 6 years with food being brought in and no outside the cell access. Any takers???

 

Look, it is not perfect but at least some justice was served than him getting away scot free.

Kinda bums me out a bit. I don't think that is enough justice for both of these guy's families. RIP

[Malakai432]

Yeah I don’t think it’s fair by any means but that’s our justice system.  You can illegally come to this country, get wasted, unintentionally kill multiple people in an accident, flee the scene of the crime and get out in 4-5 years on good behavior.
