Yeah, it's terrible stuff. Families get torn up and the accused gets a slap on the wrist.
In Toronto two years ago this guy was driving drunk and he mounted a curb, hit a woman who was jogging, sent her flying 30 meters into another car and killed her. He just got his sentence the other day, it was like 5 years, plus the 2 years pre-trial custody he served. She was a mother of four, all of whom were under age 9. Infuriating.
