    Sounds fair so far, other than he should be found guilty of the lesser (reckless) manslaughter.

    I personally hope his punishment includes jail time, but no more than a year.

    If you have money, you can get away with murder and tampering with evidence.

    No more than a year of jail time?

    Sorry, I haven't kept up with this case, but did he murder the limo driver or was it someone else?
    I'm not talking about the lawyer technical jibba-jabba.
    Was it he that killed the limo driver?
    Was it he that attempted his best to cover all this up?

    If it was, then why would you want him to spend no more than a year in prison?

    Yep, and I'm sticking by it. He, and everyone other than the driver, was drunk. He had zero intention of doing anything harmful. He was showing off his shotgun trying to be a bad ass, didn't have a clue that it was loaded, and set it off by accident.

    He wasn't in his right state of mind. He did nothing maliciously. He should be punished. He doesn't deserve life, or anything close, for what he did. He made a horrible mistake that will haunt him his entire life.

    BTW, it's most likely that the jury will ask that he only recieve probation. That they did not find him guilty on either manslaughter count tells me they were overly sympathetic.
