Since I posted this, I've read a lot more about it. Still can't believe it. No matter how honest the man was about what happened, or how sorry he is, or what a clean record he has (we're supposed to <em>reward</em> people for not breaking the law??), he was still drunk and still killed the guy. The diff is that he escaped civil court proceedings by paying off the family. People are incensed by that. But it still doesn't excuse him from the other penalties (lifetime license suspension, 8 years probation, 2 years house arrest, etc....all of which are better than jail). It's a mess. I'd hate to be Roger Goodell right now. I know, right? Since I posted this, I’ve read a lot more about it. Still can’t believe it.
