2 teens racing on gessner kill a mother and two children. jail time or probation?

Jail time most definitely.

 

it's not accidental. if you don't realize that racing down a road like gessner can result in a wreck where someone is killed, you're too dumb to be a part of our society.

and to one of their aunts who tried to blame it on the woman for pulling out in front of them, i hope they add another 5 years to their sentence for you being such a ****.

 

This is a major problem facing this country, kids simply aren't held accountable.

Our kids have mediocre grades, yet rank at the very top in confidence.

Get bad grades, it's the teachers fault

Skip school, it's the parents fault

Shoot somebody, it's Manson's fault

Get pregnant, it's TV's fault

Kill somebody being stupid, it's my biology not me.

It's not Hitler's fault he was born a lunatic.

For the record i'm only 24, and i think these Men, yes i said men, should not only get jail time, but substantial jail time.

3 people are dead, whoops my bad isn't good enough

 

"A psychiatrist for the defense testified Wednesday morning that a teenager does not have the ability to make mature decisions like an adult does, because the part of the brain that controls judgment is not yet fully developed."

Really? I don't care if you think you're an expert in your field. GTFO with stuff like this.

 

A mother and two children are dead at the hands of two irresponsible, immature idiots.

What good would it do to punish them harshly! Just give them a slap on the wrist and send them on their merry way!

 

They have to get locked for at least 5 years.

They Lawyer who dismissed his clients actions as "Stupid things" deserves to be T-boned on the freeway by an 18 wheeler.

 

Send them to the Gulag

 

Are they white and come from respectable looking families?

 

Jail time and sterilization.

And lol at that psychiatrist.

 

Jail time. How would you feel if that was your wife and two kids.

20 years

 

I blame Child Protective Services.

 

Future criminals? They are present criminals, in my book. Accident? You make it sound like they were doing the speed limit alone on the way to work.

How is this a question? At the very least, it's involuntary manslaughter, no? Negligence? Reckless endangerment? Driving While Idiot?

SOMETHING.

Hate to affect/ruin other lives in addition to the tragedy as it won't bring anyone back, but if this doesn't result in some kind of jail time as punishment and prevention, as well as an example, I won't understand how.

Wait, how rich are the racers?

 

Wait until someone kills a family member of yours and you can talk.

 

I think they have dough. The kid was driving a Chevy Tahoe at 17.

I also found out his address.

Suspended license for life.

For starters.

 

I see no reason why the sentence should be any different than it would be for anyone else. I read about half of the comments in the thread before reading the article. I expected them to be 16 years old. They're 18 and 19.

A psychiatrist for the defense testified Wednesday morning that a teenager does not have the ability to make mature decisions like an adult does, because the part of the brain that controls judgment is not yet fully developed.

Then why let teenagers drive? I understand there are different laws for different ages, etc, etc (driving = 16, voting/smoking = 18, drinking = 21, etc.), but if we have decided that a person is adult enough at 16 to be put behind a vehicle, that person imo then should be held accountable just as a 30 year old driver would be.

With regards to how a 30 year old random driver would be punished, I'm not sure what the law would say, but given the speed at which they were driving - racing - seems like involuntary manslaughter to me...?

 

Jail time. A lot of it. A whole lot of it.
